STORAGE YIELD FUNCTIONS FOR RAVISANKAR SAGAR RESERVOIR IN MRP COMPLEX A Case Study

摘要

Creation of storages through development of Reservoirs is the major avenue for meeting the water demands for various beneficial uses for a country like India which 90-95% water is available in monsoon months only. The optimal utilization of available resource seems to be the key for tackling the Complex situation of meeting the ever increasing demand of water. Development of strategies for operating a Reservoir in an optimal manner to have the judicious use of available resource is also a complex phenomenon and required the use of System Analysis Techniques. There is no general algorithm for all Reservoirs, and is to be tackled independently for developing the optimal operating strategies. The present study is focused on development of Monthly storage Yield Functions for Ravishankar Sagar Reservoir of Mahanadi Reservoir Complex (MRP) in Raipur District of Chattisgarh State in India using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Model of Loucks et al (1981).
