Statistical Indices For Assessment of Barrage/canal Performance
Statistical Indices For Assessment of Barrage/canal Performance
Metrics and graphic representations can help to better understand system behavior, Identify
opportunities for management interventions, and direct the system trajectory towards
desired levels of performance. In following questions you will apply metrics and graphics
Q # 1 Water demand and supply data for the three Barrages (Guddu, Sukkur and Kotri) for
Rabi 2012-2013 is given in (Data/Q1). Evaluate the data provided to answer the following
questions:
a) Evaluate the water supply data for each barrage against the demand values provided
and record the years with water demand deficit (Write your answers in the table 1).
b) What was the severity of each deficit observed?

Q # 2 for the Sukkur barrage canal system (Data/Q4/flow.csv) calculate:
Note: You have to complete the script in Q4 folder (Data/Q2/Q2.py) to get the answers.
Note: This metric quantifies the fraction at which the aggregate or total entitlement
(allocation) for a season for a canal was fulfilled.
Note: The canal supply consistency, ui, is useful to get a measure of predictability
for a canal while accounting for systemic factors that may make serving a specific
entitlement challenging. Consider a case, where a canal is only delivered 80% of
its stated entitlement. If it is done so consistently throughout the season, then the ui
will have a small value
(and consistency will be high). High consistency gives a level of predictability for
water users and allows for better planning.
T = Annual
Note: This is defined as the likelihood of receiving the allocated water entitlement
during an irrigation turn.
