Abstract: An overall study has been made to develop an optimum water resources utilization plan in the Cho Shui River Basin in Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC). This paper represents a part of this overall study. It focuses on ...

Abstract: A new methodology is developed for determining optimal reservoir releases to minimize the downstream adverse effects in alluvial rivers. The methodology is based on describing the problem as a discrete-time optimal control ...

Abstract: Mathematical models are developed for determining optimum reservoir releases in order to minimize the aggradation and degradation in downstream river reaches. The physical system is composed of a reservoir-river interaction ...
