Optimization Application: Sprinkler System


November,2014 - January,2014

Mentor: Prof. Ravi Banavar

This project was my idea, and upon approching the professor he agreed to guide us in the feild of optimization which was quite new to us at that time. It is a small yet elegant mathematical problem.

The Problem Statement

Given a rectangular garden, where a particular region user will give us as an input and we know the position of sprinklers. What is the time for which each sprinkler should remain on such as the specified area recieves the optimum water per unit area and the energy consumption is minimum. Any way have a look at the report below.


The Solution




The report was self explanatory I believe, if anyone wants the code for this project which I have with me, just give me a ping I will be ready to help them.
Thank You!
