SIMULATION MODELING OF RUNOFF REGULATION BY AN IRRIGATION WATER RESERVOIR UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF LOW-WATER
The article is dealt with the analysis of the Krasnodar water reservoir operation carried out under various options for regulating river flow. The considered options for water reservoir management were implemented in accordance with the current operation schedule and new regulations developed on the basis of simulation modeling using the IMIT-BALANS model which uses optimization elements. Previously this model was adapted by means of a more detailed discreteness of intra-annual intervals. Comparison of the results of the reservoir operation in relation to the deficient planned water yield for dry year conditions showed that the developed new regulations for reservoir management for low water years are much more effective. Their use by the decision-maker (DM) would reduce deficit of water consumption provided that short-term and medium-term runoff forecasts are used.
