RISComparison of Stochastic Optimization Algorithms for Hydropower Reservoir Operation with Ensemble Streamflow Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stochastic optimization methods have been developed over the last few decades to help water managers who are regularly confronted with making complex decisions about reservoir releases in the context of streamflow ...
Uncertainties of Precipitable Water Calculations for PMP Estimates in Current and Future Climates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the design criterion for many hydraulic and hydrologic structures. Despite its significance in water resource engineering, estimation of PMP values carries uncertainties. On the other ...
Comparison of Stochastic Optimization Algorithms for Hydropower Reservoir Operation with Ensemble Streamflow Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stochastic optimization methods have been developed over the last few decades to help water managers who are regularly confronted with making complex decisions about reservoir releases in the context of streamflow ...
Soil Moisture Profile Model for Two-Layered Soil Based on Sharp Wetting Front Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two-layer model for 1D vertical unsaturated flow based on the hypothesis of a sharp wetting front is presented. The model further assumes a uniform pore pressure throughout the wetting zone at any given time during the ...
Estimating Costs Model of Dual Water Supply Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mixed integer programming model is used to generate the optimal design of dual water supply systems. The water‐supply network is of branched, or nonlooped, type, and the model selects discrete pipe sizes as well as optimal ...
Impacts and Uncertainty of Climate Change on Water Resource Management of the Peribonka River System (Canada)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The impacts of climate change on medium-term reservoir operations for the Peribonka water resource system (Quebec, Canada) were evaluated with annual and seasonal hydropower production indicators and flood control criteria. ...
Hydraulic Model Calibration Using Water Levels Derived from Time Series High-Resolution SAR Images
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydraulic models require water extents (WE) and water levels (WL) for their calibration and validation. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been readily used in the past to delineate water bodies and extract WL from the ...
Vulnerability of Water Demand and Aquatic Habitat in the Context of Climate Change and Analysis of a No-Regrets Adaptation Strategy: Study of the Yamaska River Basin, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Monitoring Snow-Cover Depletion by Coupling Satellite Imagery with a Distributed Snowmelt Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many watersheds in Canada and in the northern United States see most of their precipitation in the form of snow. Many of these watersheds are the sites of important hydropower development projects. During snowmelt, watershed ...
Water Resources Optimization Method in the Context of Climate Change
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a method for water resources optimization in the context of climate change. The method takes into account the midterm variability or seasonality of inflows as well as the uncertainty in the climate ...
