“…In the water resources literature, few studies have tackled the issue of the optimal selection of streamflow forecast horizon for a single‐objective reservoir operated for water supply (Anghileri et al., 2016), hydropower (Hamlet et al., 2002; Block, 2011; Xu et al., 2014), or for a generic concave objective function (Zhao et al., 2014, 2019). Additionally, the breath of information sources that was demonstrated to be valuable to inform reservoir operations is by no means limited to streamflow forecasts, but includes the previous period's inflow (Gal, 1979; Maidment & Chow, 1981), available hydrological observations (Denaro et al., 2017), traditional (Hejazi & Cai, 2011) or basin‐specific (Zaniolo et al., 2018, 2019) drought indexes, measures of snow abundance (Desreumaux et al., 2014; Giuliani, Castelletti, Fedorov, & Fraternali, 2016), shifts in hydrological regimes (Turner & Galelli, 2016), teleconnection indices (Libisch‐Lehner et al., 2019), and sea surface temperature measured in appropriate locations (Giuliani et al., 2019; Zaniolo, Giuliani, & Castelletti, 2021).…”
