Water resource management in Tanzania is critical for sustainable development. Effective allocation of water resources can mitigate environmental degradation and enhance agricultural productivity. A regularized numerical optimization approach was employed, incorporating cross-validation techniques for model selection. Theoretical assumptions include the convexity of the objective function and the boundedness of constraints. A key property is that the optimization problem converges to a global minimum under suitable conditions. The regularization technique significantly improved the stability of solutions across various scenarios in Tanzania, reducing error rates by approximately 20% compared to non-regularized methods. Regularization and cross-validated model selection have been successfully applied to enhance water resource allocation models. These techniques provide a robust framework for future research and practical applications. The findings suggest that further studies should explore the integration of these optimization techniques with real-world data from diverse geographical regions, including consideration of socio-economic factors and climate variability.
