Abstract: This paper presents a combined simulation-optimization model for simulating reservoir operations without any detailed operation rules; it features the integration of a nonlinear, multiple-objective function and a heuristic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a hydrologic gray model integrated with a global search method to improve the accuracy of real-time flood forecasting for two watersheds. The model’s applicability is evaluated by comparing the runoff ...

Abstract: To efficiently manage the water supply for paddy rice and to reduce the inundation damage from floods, it is necessary to enhance our understanding of the characteristics of the surface water hydraulics in an irrigated ...
