AbstractLong term and mid-term reservoir operation involves derivation of rule curves for optimal management of the available resource. The present work deals with reservoir operation in the Aurès arid region. As an example, Babar reservoir is selected to apply the proposed approach which estimates all the water balance terms, especially those which are random as water inflows. For each demand scenario a reservoir operation optimization model using Explicit Stochastic Dynamic Programming (ESDP) is performed, to derive optimal rule curves based on historical operating records (Jan 2002–Dec 2013) and using “Reservoir” R package®. Subsequently, risk analysis is conducted for these different demand scenarios rules by the RRV (reliability, resilience, vulnerability) metrics. Results show the advantage of using the “Reservoir” R package for a rapid and an easy analysis of the performance criteria jointly with the optimization algorithm to Re-operate Reservoir operation.

Abstract Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient limiting life, and its biochemical cycling and distribution in rivers have been markedly affected by river engineering construction and operation. Here, we comprehensively analyzed the spatiotemporal variations and driving environmental factors of N distributions based on the long-term observations (from 2004 to 2016) of seven stations in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). In the study period, the overall water quality status of the river reach improved, whereas N pollution was severe and tended to be aggravated after the TGR impoundment. The anti-seasonal reservoir operation strongly affected the variations in N forms. The total nitrogen (TN) concentration in the mainstream of the Yangtze River continuously increased, although it was still lower than that in the incoming tributaries (Wu and Jialing rivers). Further analysis showed that this increase occurred probably because of external inputs, including the upstream (76%), non-point (22%), and point source pollution inputs (2%). Besides, different N forms showed significant seasonal variations; among them, the TN and nitrate nitrogen concentrations were the lowest in the impoundment season (October–February), and the ammonia nitrogen concentrations were the highest in the sluicing season (March–May). These parameters varied likely because of internal N transformation. Redundancy analysis revealed that the water level regulated by the anti-seasonal operation was the largest contributor. Our findings could provide a basis for managing and predicting the water quality in the Yangtze River.

Abstract This study investigated reservoir operation under climate change for a base period (1981–2000) and future period (2011–2030). Different climate change models, based on A2 scenario, were used and the HAD-CM3 model, considering uncertainty, among other climate change models was found to be the best model. For the Dez basin in Iran, considered as a case study, the climate change models predicted increasing temperature from 1.16 to 2.5°C and decreasing precipitation for the future period. Also, runoff volume for the basin would decrease and irrigation demand for the downstream consumption would increase for the future period. A hybrid framework (optimization-climate change) was used for reservoir operation and the bat algorithm was used for minimization of irrigation deficit. A genetic algorithm and a particle swarm algorithm were selected for comparison with the bat algorithm. The reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability indices, based on a multi-criteria model, were used to select the base method for reservoir operation. Results showed the volume of water to be released for the future period, based on all evolutionary algorithms used, was less than for the base period, and the bat algorithm with high-reliability index and low vulnerability index performed better among other evolutionary algorithms.
