The state of the art for optimal water reservoir operations is rapidly evolving, driven by
emerging societal challenges. Changing values for balancing environmental resources …

With construction of new large-scale water storage projects on the wane in the US and other
developed countries, attention must focus on improving the operational effectiveness and …

Multireservoir operating policies are usually defined by rules that specify either individual
reservoir desired (target) storage volumes or desired (target) releases based on the time of …

Although great progress has been made in the last 40 years, efficient operation of water
reservoir systems still remains a very active research area. The combination of multiple …

Most common methods used in optimal control of reservoir systems require a large number
of control variables, which are typically the sequences of releases from all reservoirs and for …

A genetic algorithm approach is presented for the optimization of multireservoir systems. The
approach is demonstrated through application to a reservoir system in Indonesia by …

An integrated forecast–decision system for Folsom Lake (California) is developed and used
to assess the sensitivity of reservoir performance to various forecast–management schemes …

This paper compares two approaches for implementing reservoir operating policies derived
using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) models. In particular, operating policies for …

Abstract The Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the largest investor-owned energy utility in
the United States, obtains a significant fraction of its electric energy and capacity from …

A parametric rule for multireservoir system operation is formulated and tested. It is a
generalization of the well‐known space rule of simultaneously accounting for various system …
