Integrated Reservoir Management System for Adaptation to Climate Change: The Nakdong River Basin in Korea

Eum, Hyung-Il; Simonovic, Slobodan - In: Water Resources Management 24 (2010) 13, pp. 3397-3417

This study begins with the premise that current reservoir management systems do not take into account the potential effects of climate change on optimal performance. This study suggests an approach in which multi-purpose reservoirs can adapt to climate change using optimal rule curves developed...
