This paper presents a survey of simulation and optimization modeling approaches used in
reservoir systems operation problems. Optimization methods have been proved of much …

The optimal use of available resources is of paramount importance in the backdrop of the
increasing food, fiber, and other demands of the burgeoning global population and the …

Optimal management policies for water reservoir operation are generally designed via
stochastic dynamic programming (SDP). Yet, the adoption of SDP in complex real-world …

The history of environmental flow analysis shows a shift from an emphasis on a flat line
minimum flow requirement to the development of a holistic, regime‐based, approach to flow …

The paper develops an efficient macro-evolutionary multiobjective genetic algorithm
(MMGA) for optimizing the rule curves of a multi-purpose reservoir system in Taiwan. Macro …

This paper presents an integrated hydrologic-economic modeling framework for optimizing
conjunctive use of surface and groundwater at the river basin scale. Integrated river basin …

Reservoir operations play an important role in water resources planning and management.
During periods of drought, when inflows to the reservoir are low, it may not be possible to …

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 …

As a common approach to reservoir operating policies, water levels at the end of each time
interval should be kept at or above the rule curve. In this study, the policy is captured using …

Reservoir operation is one of the challenging problems for water resources planners and
managers. In developing countries the end users are represented by the water sectors in …
