Abstract :

Considering extent and complexity of water resources systems, it is necessary and requires a comprehensive optimization process to determine the policy and select options and proper strategies For proper operation of water resources systems in different circumstances. In this study the necessity of using evolutionary optimization techniques and discussed a brief description on how to implement a genetic algorithm operators as the most evolutionary practical methods. More studies on genetic algorithm are presented in several sections. In the following, has been investigated advantages and limitations of genetic algorithm and then, presented research on several sections.The results show that Genetic algorithms in solving various problems of water resources, efficiently comes from dissolving the issues with a large space and solve complex problems while ability to achieve the global optimum can be provide in different conditions a series of acceptable answers as solutions. For increase the efficiency of the algorithm and achieving better solutions, According to the nature of the problem can be take optimal advantage of improved versions or combine with simulation models or other methods of mathematical.
