A decision support model (DSM) has been developed using the artificial neural networks (ANN) for optimal operation of a reservoir in south India. The DSM developed is a combination of a rule based expert system and ANN models, which are trained using the results from deterministic single...

This paper presents a Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA) to derive a set of optimal operation policies for a multipurpose reservoir system. One of the main goals in multi-objective optimization is to find a set of well distributed optimal solutions along the Pareto front. Classical...

In this paper a metaheuristic technique called Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is proposed to derive operating policies for a multi-purpose reservoir system. Most of the real world problems often involve non-linear optimization in their solution with high dimensionality and large number of...

In this paper a fuzzy dynamic Nash game model of interactions between water users in a reservoir system is presented. The model represents a fuzzy stochastic non-cooperative game in which water users are grouped into four players, where each player in game chooses its individual policies to...

Fuzzy multiobjective decision makingmodels generally rely on the aggregation of theobjectives to form a decision function. The generalizedaveraging operator is usually adopted for aggregatingmultiple and unequal objectives because it allows trade-off amongst the objectives, and has been shown to...

In this article, a fuzzy rule based model is developed for the operation of a single purpose reservoir. The model operates on an 'if – then' principle, where the 'if' is a vector of fuzzy premises and the 'then' is a vector of fuzzy consequences. The steps involved in the development of the...

Multi-reservoir operation planning is a complex task involving many variables, objectives, and decisions. This paper applies a hybrid method using genetic algorithm (GA) and linear programming (LP) developed by the authors to determine operational decisions for a reservoir system over the...

This article presents a methodology for planning a modelfor the operation of a drinking water reservoir. The hedging ruledistributes deficits over a longer period of time by rationingthe supply of water and it makes the system sustainablewith a marginal reduction in supply. A methodology...

The present study develops a simple interactive integrated water allocation model (IWAM), which can assist the planners and decision makers in optimal allocation of limited water from a storage reservoir to different user sectors, considering socio-economic, environmental and technical aspects....
