Abstract The optimization of dam reservoir operations is the utmost importance, as operators strive to maximize revenue while minimizing expenses, risks, and deficiencies. Metaheuristics have recently been investigated extensively by researchers in management reservoirs. But animal-concept-based metaheuristic algorithm with Lévy flight integration approach has not used at Karun-4. This paper in...

Dam break analysis plays a very important role in the risk assessment of dams. Large dams pose significantly higher risks to the people and property downstream of the dam as compared to smaller dams. So the flooding risk due to the possible failure of large dams is more crucial. The simulation of exceptional events characterized by high hydraulic and hydro-geologic risk is an actual problem for...

during late nineteenth century, khuzistan was considered to be the most fertile land of persia which at one time had yielded $ 50 million if calculated on 1962 price index. many british officials presented in iran and india office have recorded the abundance of water through a network of five rivers and canals, making khuzistan a fertile ground for major staple and cash crops. at the time when ...

Abstract Recorded ground accelerations at various locations of Karun III Dam during November 20, 2007, were recorded by an array accelerometers located on the dam. In terms amplitude and phase, these show non-uniformities in different elevations. this paper, effect non-uniform motions seismic response dam taking dam-reservoir-foundation interaction into account is investigated. The EACD-3D-2008...

Optimal operation of water resources in multiple and multipurpose reservoirs is very complicated. This is because of the number of dams, each dam's location (Series and parallel), conflict in objectives and the stochastic nature of the inflow of water in the system. In this paper, performance optimization of the system of Karun and Dez reservoir dams have been studied and investigated with the ...
