Abstract We describe our work in developing decision support tools to manage large international rivers. This is a complex environmental decision making problem due to the presence of multiple objectives stemming from multiple uses of the reservoirs (energy production, irrigation, flood protection, ), several sources of uncertainty (inflows, water demand, evaporation, ), long-term effects of de...

Reservoir resettlement management is the fundamental project to the success of construction of reservoir. Due to the diversity of types of engineering data and trivial content as well as wide range of covers, modern technologies like GIS are required to build the information system and to achieve systematic management of data which can be displayed through diverse methods in order to satisfy re...

Watershed nutrient management is essential in minimizing the eutrophication rate of reservoirs. A shortcoming in nutrient management of watershed-reservoir systems has been the lack of successful linking of watershed and water body models to evaluate impact of watershed management options on reservoir water quality. The objectives of this research were to 1) calibrate and validate a Soil and Wa...

Real-time reservoir management is an emerging concept in the exploration and production (E&P) industry. However, there are numerous definitions of real-time reservoir management, which reflects the fact that there have been many attempts to implement it. In this article, Fikri Kuchuk, Andrew Carnegie, and Mahmut Sengul define the scope and processes of real-time reservoir management and explore...

An integrated Rough Set approach is proposed to discover the historical operation rules of irrigation purpose reservoirs. Operation rules are derived by expressing monthly releases as functions of reservoir stored volume, inflow and outflow. This is accomplished through the Rough Set approach and the use of performance indices able to recognize the effective rules used in water supply managemen...

This paper presents a user-interactive decision support system (DSS) for the management of the Lake Kariba reservoir. Built in the fourth-generation computer language IFPS, the system takes into account relevant reservoir characteristics and parameters, such as the amount of hydropower generated, reservoir storage throughout the year, and the amount of water released for down-stream usage. The ...

density or gravity currents have been always one of the main causes for sedimentation along many of the dam reservoirs. so controlling this phenomenon is very important for increasing useful life of such reservoirs. in this research study the effect of a combination of rough bed and obstacle on the control of sedimentary density current has been investigated. experiments were conducted in a til...

Oil production optimization is one of the main targets of reservoir management. Smart well technology gives the ability of real time oil production optimization. Although this technology has many advantages; optimum adjustment or sizing of corresponding valves is still an issue to be solved. In this research, optimum port sizing of inflow control devices (ICDs) which are passive control valves ...
