Abstract

The environmental water demand of the Mahabad River in the Urmia Lake basin in Iran was first estimated, using the flow duration curve shifting method (FDC Shifting) in this study. Secondly, the optimal operating model of the reservoir was developed with the goals of decreasing the deficiencies and considering the downstream demands of the reservoir, especially the environmental water demands by employing the simulated annealing (SA) and non-linear programming (NLP) methods. The results of the SA algorithm were compared with those of the NLP model with the indices of reliability, resiliency velocity, vulnerability, and sustainability. Then, the optimum released water values in the current month, the optimum water storage values in the reservoir, reservoir inflows and monthly demands were considered as inputs of the M5 tree model, and the optimum values of released water in the next month were considered as outputs of the M5 model. Finally, the optimum operation rules from the reservoir were developed in the form of if-then linear rules for future uses. One of the main advantages of the M5 tree model is to present two operation rules as if-then rules for all the operating periods with relatively acceptable accuracy. The results showed that the SA-M5 tree model, as a method of data mining, can extract the operation rules with relatively high accuracy.
