Abstract: Water usage across the globe is growing at an unprecedented rate which is more than twice the growth rate of Human population. Hence, making conservation of water a necessity for survival. Despite the wide availability of water; its cost, requirement and supply over developed, developing and under-developed nations differs. Seeing the potential and urgent requirement of developing sustainable solutions for the global water crisis, we’ve tried to integrate this concern with Operations Research. Using various methods of OR like IWMF, LPP and Simplex, we’ve tried to find ways that ensure efficient storage capacities, optimal allocation, increasing irrigation efficiency, cost of development of new facilities, etc.
Keywords: Water Crisis, Operations Research, Linear Programming, IWMF, optimal allocation.
