With construction of new large-scale water storage projects on the wane in the US and other
developed countries, attention must focus on improving the operational effectiveness and …

Future water management will shift from building new water supply systems to better
operating existing ones. The variation of water values in time and space will increasingly …

This paper presents a short history of water resources systems analysis from its beginnings
in the Harvard Water Program, through its continuing evolution toward a general field of …

An economic-engineering optimization model of California's major water supply system is
presented. The model's development, calibration, limitations, and results are reviewed. The …

Hydroelectric power provides a cheap source of electricity with few carbon emissions. Yet,
reservoirs are not operated sustainably, which we define as meeting societal needs for …

During the past several decades, numerous reservoirs have been built across the world for a
variety of purposes such as flood control, irrigation, municipal/industrial water supplies, and …

This paper reviews a variety of derived single-purpose operating policies for reservoirs in
series and in parallel for water supply, flood control, hydropower, water quality, and …

This study addresses questions related to flood-control operating procedures followed by
the US Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District. Application is presented of a mixed …

Most common methods used in optimal control of reservoir systems require a large number
of control variables, which are typically the sequences of releases from all reservoirs and for …

Economic ideas and processes are becoming increasingly integrated with more traditional
engineering and hydrologic models of water management problems. Combining economic …
