Reducing the quantity of water in recent years has increased the competition between development projects and the environment. Wetlands are increasingly under pressure due to human activities. The most serious threats to wetlands are excessive agriculture and the diversion of water for irrigation. In recent years, due to water shortage and drought, wetland dryness in Iran has caused many problems, including the dust crisis. Therefore, planning at the basin scale is necessary to achieve sustainable development, which emphasizes the employment of mathematical models. In this study, using a reliability-based simulation–optimization approach, development planning in the Karkheh basin with the following two objectives is investigated: (1) total area under cultivation of agricultural development sectors and (2) supply reliability of the environmental flow requirement. The Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model is used for the simulation of water resources and the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is employed for optimization. The results show that in addition to significantly improving the supply reliability of the wetland requirement (from 55 to 79%), the design of agricultural development projects has been optimized. The reliability-based model has prevented unsustainable developments in the basin. Also, the average supply reliability of agricultural demands has increased from 51% (in previous studies) to 72%.

“…[14] analyzed numerous sites in Brazil for potential run-of-river hydroelectric plants, using python scripts and QGIS for generating multiple regression models for river flows, flooded areas and estimates of hydropower potential. A global scale assessment of the technical and economic potential of hydropower, using cost optimization methods, was performed by [15], while similarly, the economic feasibility of multi-reservoir hydropower systems was addressed by [16], who developed a simulation-optimization model for optimal design of hydroelectric production systems. The hydropower potential under climate change has been studied, for example, in [17][18][19][20], combining hydrological modelling and downscaled meteorological output from general circulation models (GCMs).…”

Hydropower is the most widely used renewable power source worldwide. The current work presents a methodological tool to determine the hydropower potential of a reservoir based on available hydrological information. A Bayesian analysis of the river flow process and of the reservoir water volume is applied, and the estimated probability density function parameters are integrated for a stochastic analysis and long-term simulation of the river flow process, which is then used as input for the water balance in the reservoir, and thus, for the estimation of the hydropower energy potential. The stochastic approach is employed in terms of the Monte Carlo ensemble technique in order to additionally account for the effect of the intermediate storage retention due to the thresholds of the reservoir. A synthetic river flow timeseries is simulated by preserving the marginal probability distribution function properties of the observed timeseries and also by explicitly preserving the second-order dependence structure of the river flow in the scale domain. The synthetic ensemble is used for the simulation of the reservoir water balance, and the estimation of the hydropower potential is used for covering residential energy needs. For the second-order dependence structure of the river flow, the climacogram metric is used. The proposed methodology has been implemented to assess different reservoir volume scenarios offering the associated hydropower potential for a case study at the island of Crete in Greece. The tool also provides information on the probability of occurrence of the specific volumes based on available hydrological data. Therefore, it constitutes a useful and integrated framework for evaluating the hydropower potential of any given reservoir. The effects of the intermediate storage retention of the reservoir, the marginal and dependence structures of the parent distribution of inflow and the final energy output are also discussed.

“…Hydroelectric power plants that utilize watershed and subwatershed as generators can generate electricity in the range of 500 W to 1 MW. This natural potential according to some research results [6][7][8] depends on the intensity of rain, frequency of rainfall, distribution of rainfall, water discharge in river flow and environmental topography as the head source of a hydroelectric power plant in the watershed and subwatershed area. Therefore, these natural potential factors are important to be reviewed and adjusted to watershed and subwatershed areas in the Aceh province to use them as hydroelectric power plants.…”

“…Previous studies on the use of watershed and subwatershed for hydroelectric power plants have been carried out. Research Hatamkhani et al [8] conducted a study through a simulation approach to be able to optimize the hydroelectric power plant system that utilizes the watershed Karkhe river.

The fulfilment of electricity needs in Aceh Province has not been evenly distributed so that the potential of available natural resources continues to be explored and destroyed to be utilized. One of the high available natural potentials in Aceh province is watershed and subwatershed. This study aims to study the potential use of Lawe-simpali subwatershed as a hydroelectric power plant to meet the electrical energy needs of remote communities around the Lawe-simpali Subwatershed, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The method used in this research is a literature study and field survey. Four types of methods for estimating rainfall frequency distribution were tested on climatological data obtained from around the Lawe-simpali subwatershed area. A Der Weduwen method is used to determine water discharge with a return period of up to 100 years. The results show that the Log Pearson Type III rainfall estimation method is more suitable for use in the Subwatershed Lawe-simpali area with a coefficient of inclination of 0.9. The estimated water discharge that can be generated from this Subwatershed for a biennial return period is 1571.85 m3/s. The discharge has the potential to be able to generate electricity by 26.2 kW for planning of 2 m head and 131.1 kW for planning head of 10 m. This shows that the Lawe-simpali subwatershed in Aceh Province has great potential to become micro and mini hydroelectric power so that it can meet the electrical energy needs of remote communities around it.
