Simulating Reservoir System Operation Under Given Scenarios to Determine Operating Policy with the ‘Good’ Resilience

Resilience and Risk

Abstract

This chapter provides findings of authors in real-life engineering-style performed assessment of the resilience of complex multipurpose water systems with surface reservoirs. The chapter identifies main steps in modeling the problem in view of water users and operators needs arising in both planning and management phases of the system development and operation. A case study example from Serbia is provided to illustrate authors’ approach in creating required input for running computerized river basin simulation models to determine satisfactory operation of reservoirs measured by achieving a ‘good resilience’ at given demand point within the system.
