Abstract: The damage of extreme precipitation to the social economy and ecological environment has attracted extensive attention. Daily precipitation data of 59 meteorological stations located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region ...

Abstract: Diminishing marginal utility is an important characteristic of water resources systems. With the assumption of diminishing marginal utility (i.e., concavity) of reservoir utility functions, this paper derives a monotonic ...

Abstract: Downstream water supply disruption accidents commonly occur in the large-scale cascade open-channel dispatching system, endangering dispatch safety. The emergency reaction requires active drainage water volume and cost ...

Abstract: Distributed hydrological models have been commonly used in research involving water management because of their consideration of spatial variability. However, practical applications still encounter technical challenges ...

Abstract: In this study, an optimal reservoir refill hedging rule (RHR) is developed under hydrologic uncertainty using a two-stage model. Based on the probability distribution of the maximum refill water availability at the end of ...

Abstract: Motivated by the emerging need for long-term and sustainable reservoir management, this paper developed a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model of reservoir operation with consideration of balanced applicability in ...

Abstract: Cascade pumping stations (CPSs) in open-channel water transfer systems usually consume vast amounts of energy and are expensive to operate. For these CPS systems, scheduling optimization is a critical approach to save ...
