TL;DR: In this article, the necessity to explicitly incorporate spills into reservoir optimization models based on linear or nonlinear programming is investigated and a scheme to accomplish this task is presented, which may apply hedging strategies during droughts even for systems located in semiarid conditions where high evaporation rates could threat the retention of water in storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to forecast monthly precipitation using self-organizing maps (SOM) and wavelet transform (WT) was proposed to predict precipitation in Western South America.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the interactions between the Cachapoal River and ground water was investigated in Chile's Central Valley. But the authors focused on the effect of irrigation and canal seepage on groundwater recharge.

TL;DR: A reservoir operation model based on implicit stochastic optimization (ISO) in which the release policy is guided by the forecast of the mean inflow for a given future horizon rather than by the prediction of the current-month inflow, such as in typical ISO models is introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated rainfall characteristics in the Upper Zambezi River Basin and implications for rain-fed agriculture using a bias-corrected version of TRMM-B42 v6 rainfall estimate for 1998-2010.
