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....

This paper investigates the validity of a simplified equivalent reservoir representation of a multi-reservoir hydroelectric system for modelling its optimal operation for power maximization. This simplification, proposed by Arvanitidis and Rosing (IEEE Trans Power Appar Syst 89(2):319–325, <CitationRef...</citationref>

In this study, simulation is used to evaluate the performance of the municipal water system in Fukuoka city. In combination with daily simulation model, a kind of risk model incorporating water demand prediction is presented. This model applies five risk indices: reliability, resiliency,...

Rather than optimizing water regimes for one or a few species, a better approach is to approximate the natural flow regime that maintains the entire panoply of species. RVA method generally describes flow regimes through 32 hydrologic indicators, quantifies the changes of the indicators...

Operating rule curves have been widely applied to reservoir operation, due to their ease of implementation. However, these curves are generally used for single reservoirs and have rarely been applied to cascade reservoirs. This study was conducted to derive joint operating rule curves for...

The Nile River is considered the main life artery for so many African countries especially Egypt. Therefore, it is of the essence to preserve its water and utilize it very efficiently. Developing inflow-forecasting model is considered the technical way to effectively achieve such preservation....

Reservoir operation rules are intended to help an operator so that water releases and storage capacities are in the best interests of the system objectives. In multi-reservoir systems, a large number of feasible operation policies may exist. System engineering and optimization techniques can...

A Multi objective, Multireservoir operation model for maximization of irrigation releases and maximization of hydropower production is proposed using Genetic Algorithm. These objectives are fuzzified and are simultaneously maximized by defining and then maximizing level of satisfaction (λ). In...

Integrating human knowledge with modeling tools, an intelligent decision support system (DSS) is developed to assist decision makers during different phases of flood management. The DSS is developed as a virtual planning tool and can address both engineering and non-engineering issues related to...
