In the present study ‘Teaching Learning Based Optimization’ (TLBO) optimization method has been applied to the water resources engineering problem. TLBO is a population-based natural-inspired evolutionary algorithm comparatively simple, easy and robust. TLBO algorithm is capable of providing a global solution. Four water resources problem such as optimizing crop water demand, maximization of benefits, minimization of reservoir capacity and minimization of reservoir capacity with evaporation losses solved using TLBO technique. The results were compared with linear programming & dynamic programming solutions. TLBO algorithm has proven to be providing the global and better results. The results obtained from TLBO were better in reservoir capacity problem with evaporation losses. The results were satisfactory for optimizing crop water demand, maximization of benefits and minimization of reservoir capacity. The TLBO technique provides a satisfactory solution as other popular optimization techniques.
