A two‐stage optimization model for design of a multipurpose reservoir
TLDR
In this paper, a mathematical model that can be useful in determining the optimum design and operation of a single multipurpose reservoir is presented, which takes into account the fact that economic returns from a project are a function of both design and operational rules.Abstract:
A mathematical model that can be useful in determining the optimum design and operation of a single multipurpose reservoir is presented. The development purposes include firm water supply, firm on-peak and dump hydropower production, flood control, and low flow augmentation. The model is based upon a two-stage optimization technique. It takes into account the fact that economic returns from a project are a function of both design and operational rules of the project. A dynamic programing algorithm which has a physical recursive equation computes the optimum operation policy of a feasible design. An iterative uniform grid sampling algorithm is then used to compare designs for which optimum operations are already determined and to select the best design. The model is applied to a hypothetical water resources project for illustrative purposes. The limitations of this mathematical model and some future research that may eliminate these limitations are discussed.read more

An interval-parameter multi-stage stochastic programming model for water resources management under uncertainty
TL;DR: In this article, an interval-parameter multi-stage stochastic linear programming (IMSLP) method has been developed for water resources decision making under uncertainty, where penalties are exercised with recourse against any infeasibility, which permits in-depth analyses of various policy scenarios that are associated with different levels of economic consequences when the promised water allocation targets are violated.

An inexact two-stage water management model for planning agricultural irrigation under uncertainty
TL;DR: Targeted incomes, recourse costs, and net system benefits under different scenarios are analyzed, which indicates that different policies for agricultural irrigation targets correspond to different water shortages and surplus, and thus lead to varied system benefit and system-failure risk.

ITOM : an interval-parameter two-stage optimization model for stochastic planning of water resources systems
TL;DR: The modeling results indicate that an optimistic water policy corresponding to higher agricultural income may be subject to a higher risk of system-failure penalties; while, a too conservative policy may lead to wastage of irrigation supplies.

Optimum Design of a Multiple-Purpose Reservoirs
TL;DR: A method for the optimum design of a reservoir to provide regulated water for several purposes is described that separately allocates the water to the different purposes and then allows for the use of some of the water for more than one purpose.
