The CE-QUAL-W2 model has been selected as a tool for use in water quality management studies of the Occoquan Reservoir. In order for the model to achieve its best possible predictive capability, additional quantitative information on denitrification rates in the reservoir was required. A microcosm operating protocol was developed to obtain such information and also to enhance the understanding ...

Most reservoirs offer a mean of managing and regulating the downstream water flow and demands over time and space. It is a challenging task for the reservoir operator to evaluate the trade-off during drought and heavy rainfall season. This study proposes a review on the application of different computational intelligent models, especially the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) approach in reservoir in...

With the advances in smart well technology, substantially higher oil recovery can be achieved by intelligently managing the operations in a closed-loop optimization framework. The closed-loop optimization consists of two parts: geological model updating and production optimization. Both of these parts require gradient information to minimize or maximize an objective function: squared data misma...

Water conservancy projects have the functions of flood control, power generation, water supply, and irrigation, play a vital role in survival development human society [...]

Water storage reservoirs can be either sustainable or exhaustible. In the absence of sediment management, reservoir is an exhaustible resource with long-term consequences. Previous economic planning essentially guaranteed non-sustainable solutions. This paper describes a new paradigm for assessments and existing reservoirs. The provides framework comprehensive accounting benefits costs over suf...
