Abstract

Specific problems in operation of complex water resources systems are basically two: (1) decisions on water releases, and (2) satisfaction of various levels of service. The first problem relates to how much water will be released from storage in a given time interval. The second problem relates to the distribution of positive or negative effects of these releases among the water related interests.
