Abstract

Purpose: The study aims as an engineering example of a single-objective Project Complexities (SOPCs) problem, Water Users Associations (WUAs) of On Farm Water Management (OFWM) and its use for a Project Complexities & Water Management (PCs & WM) model parameters prediction is presented in this study.

Methodology: A traditional method for WUAs training used herein is the well-known Background ladder method, which uses an umbrella based approach of project application and adaptation to the prevailing scenario and locale to minimize an output error. As a novel approach, umbrella approach of complex project can be used here for the same purpose.

Findings: It is shown that obtained errors are much lower than the outputs obtained from the Background ladder method. Next, an identification of the integration of complex projects as in David model. This model is a fully three-dimensional approach of Linear, Horizontal and Vertical Project Complexities and Water Management at different combinations of Project Complexities and Water Management along with the development of new model in the shape of Ladder Approach. The first main result is that the Complexities of Complex Projects Can be solved by parallel analysis in reasonable time and locale. The second outcome is the fact that the local minimas of the identified problems can be resolved through Umbrella Approach of Project Application and adoption method as well as statistical analysis. This will also minimize the need of training of locale peoples for a Water Management Project's work.
