Adaptive Real-Time Streamflow Forecasting Model for Hydrosystem Operational Planning

摘要

Due to increased competition for available water supplies in the western U.S. and political and financial considerations that new water supply development, recent attention has been focused on more effective operations to enhance water supply and use efficiency. A package of computerized management models is offered for monthly operational planning of complex water resource systems supplied by snow-fed streams. The three basic parts of the package consist of: a state-space water supply forecasting model (accounting for future streamflow uncertainties); a methodology for treating substantially different streamflows; and a river basin management model having simulation and optimization capabilities.
