Abstract

The initial cost of pressurized irrigation network is the most important issue for this method’s development. Searching for the optimization diameter of pressurized branches could guarantee the suitable design as well as having a high effect on costs reduction. Different methods of optimization have been considered so far. In this research, the HBMO algorithm has been used as one of the optimization metaheuristic methods for pressurized branched irrigation networks design. The research will introduce this method and its application in minimizing the pressurized branched irrigation network’s cost. Also the obtained results of this application in designing two networks, a real network with other current methods within pressurized branched irrigation networks such as mougnie velocity, recommended velocity, linear programming, labye, lagrange multipliers, and recursive design, has been compared.
The results of this research showed that HBMO algorithm in comparison with other methods has the least cost (more than 65 percent difference in comparision with Recommended Velocity method).
