To obtain optimal operating rules for storage reservoirs, large numbers of simulation and optimization models have been developed over the past several decades, which vary significantly in their mechanisms and applications. As every model has its own limitations, the selection of appropriate...

The water sharing dispute in a multi-reservoir river basin forces the water resources planners to have an integrated operation of multi-reservoir system rather than considering them as a single reservoir system. Thus, optimizing the operations of a multi-reservoir system for an integrated...

A comprehensive Genetic Algorithm (GA) model has been developed and applied to derive optimal operational strategies of a multi-purpose reservoir, namely Perunchani Reservoir, in Kodaiyar Basin in Tamil Nadu, India. Most of the water resources problem involves uncertainty, in order to see that...

Over the past decade, several conventional optimization techniques had been developed for the optimization of complex water resources system. To overcome some of the drawbacks of conventional techniques, soft computing techniques were developed based on the principles of natural evolution. The...

Reservoirs are the key infrastructure for the socio-economic development of a country. The reservoirs are proven to be a remedial solution of highly erratic spatial and temporal availability of water. The growth in population and consequent developmental activities within a catchment area has...
