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...
