ConclusionsConclusions
The short-term model is a tool that can be used in the irrigation The short-term model is a tool that can be used in the irrigation district yearly planning process. Sensitivity analysis shows that this district yearly planning process. Sensitivity analysis shows that this model is sensible to economic and hydrologic parameters.model is sensible to economic and hydrologic parameters.
The long-term model shows that the irrigated area can be sustained, The long-term model shows that the irrigated area can be sustained, even during dry periods, but at expenses of the reservoirs’ storage even during dry periods, but at expenses of the reservoirs’ storage volume, which declines under drought conditions. volume, which declines under drought conditions.
Excessive releases for agricultural use from the reservoir system Excessive releases for agricultural use from the reservoir system will reduce storage volume reliability, making the system more will reduce storage volume reliability, making the system more vulnerable, inequitable and increasing the probability to have failure vulnerable, inequitable and increasing the probability to have failure conditions. conditions.
After the economic analysis we conclude that large increase in After the economic analysis we conclude that large increase in irrigated area is not economically efficient, but it has negative irrigated area is not economically efficient, but it has negative consequences in reservoirs’ storage volume because farmers waste consequences in reservoirs’ storage volume because farmers waste water planting no profitable crops.water planting no profitable crops.

We can also conclude that there is a relationship between We can also conclude that there is a relationship between equity and economic efficiency and between reservoirs’ equity and economic efficiency and between reservoirs’ storage volume reliability and irrigated area reliability.storage volume reliability and irrigated area reliability.
We conclude that a sustainable margin of sustainability of We conclude that a sustainable margin of sustainability of at least 2500 MCM should be used in the Yaqui reservoirs’ at least 2500 MCM should be used in the Yaqui reservoirs’ system, to give more certainty in the planning process. system, to give more certainty in the planning process.
