This paper presents the methodology to obtain optimal reservoir operation for water supply by use of Drought Duration Curve (DDC rule curve). Optimum DDC rule curve is chosen in comparison with drought safety indices. New method named Staged DDC rule curve is adapted to lessen the possibility of reservoir exhaustion and excessive water saving. Inflow forecasting can be incorporated with DDC rule curve for the improvement of reservoir operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
