Assessment of risks to public water supply from low flows and harmful water quality in a changing climate

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled modeling system that combines hydrological modeling of river water quantity and quality, rules for water withdrawals from rivers into storage reservoirs, and dynamical simulation of harmful algal blooms in storage reservoirs is proposed to assess the impact of climate change, demand growth, and land use change on the reliability of public water supplies.

Improved Reservoir Operation Using Hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Neurofuzzy Computing

TL;DR: Results of the performance evaluation indicate that the releases predicted by the genetic-based neurofuzzy model gave higher reliability for water supply and flood protection compared to the actual operation, and the predicted releases based on the newly developed approach result in the lowest amount of deficit and spill indicating that the developed modeling approach would assist in improved operation of Pasak Jolasid Reservoir.

Integration of time series forecasting in a dynamic decision support system for multiple reservoir management to conserve water sources

TL;DR: In most of arid and semi-arid regions, there are limited sources of available fresh water for different domestic and environmental demands as discussed by the authors, and strategic and parsimonious fresh water-use in water-scarc...

A Model for Solving the Optimal Water Allocation Problem in River Basins with Network Flow Programming When Introducing Non-Linearities

TL;DR: A generalised model for solving the optimal allocation of water resources in schemes where the objectives are minimising the demand deficits, complying with the required flows in the river and storing water in reservoirs is presented.

A Strategy for Reservoir Model Forecasting Based on Historic Meteorological Conditions

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy for the application of linked watershed and reservoir models in the analysis of water quality management proposals for a water supply reservoir is presented based on the use of a long-term historical record of meteorological data, so that die predicted changes in water quality may be evaluated by considering the variations in streamflow, material loading, reservoir heat transfer and mixing associated with natural variations in meteorological conditions.

A simulation model for operating a multipurpose multireservoir system

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was used for assessing alternative policies of operation for the Trent River system in Ontario, Canada, which is used for flood control, water supply, hydropower, and augmenting flows through the canal system during the summer period.
