In this study, simulation and optimization models are combined to apply the reservoir hedging policy. The simulation of the study basin is done by the Water Planning and Evaluation System (WEAP) model to operate the Doiraj dam reservoir located on Doiraj River. In addition, to optimize the system, the multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm (MOICA) model is employed
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.
