Dynamic operation rules of multi-purpose reservoir for better flood management

Comparing Simple Flood Reservoir Operation Rules

The effectiveness of three simple flood operating rules in reducing the peak flow is compared for four simplified hydrograph shapes. The Minimize Flood Peak rule uses available flood storage capacity to store peak flows from an accurate hydrograph forecast. The less demanding Minimize Flooding Frequency operating rule releases water at or below channel capacity until the flood storage pool is f...

Ant Colony Optimization for Multi-Purpose Reservoir Operation

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 equality and inequality constraints. Often the conventional techniques fail to yield global optimal solution...

Simulation-Optimization Framework for the Optimal Flood Mitigation Operation of Multi-Reservoir System

A novel multi-objective simulation-optimization (S-O) framework for flood mitigation in a river-reservoir system with multiple reservoirs and control points is proposed. Different combinations of objectives regarding flood mitigation in one or more of the reservoirs and/or one or more of the control points can be specified within the framework, namely, (1) maximizing the flood releases from the...
