“…At the same time single purpose, nonflood control planning has modified the characteristics of flooding without evaluating the consequences of this result on flood damages [6,7]. Multiple purpose water resource planning, on the other hand, has assumed a land use plan and flood control engineering parameters (such as flood control storage requirements} as given [13,21,4,12,14,31,16,24].…”

The research reported here deals with the problem of planning land use and engineering alternatives for urban floodplain management. An analytical methodology accommodating (a) land use regulations such as zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and building and housing codes, (b) development policies such as direction of services and utilities, acquisition of open space uses, redevelopment and renewal, and permanent evacuation, and (c) engineering measures such as dams, reservoirs, levees, floodwalls, and channel alterations. The objective of this floodplain management approach is to identify, subject to an appropriate set of planning constraints, an economically efficient combination of land use and engineering alternatives. A computer-based mathematical optimization model was used to select a desirable combination of management alternatives.

“…Several attempts to solve these kind of problems are presented: ,4 mir [ 1967] investigated some qualitative properties of the optimal solution. Roefs and Bodin [1970] demonstrate some of the difficulties associated with solving stochastic multireservoir problems. Nayak and Arora [1971] and also Peters et al [1977] find the best policy in the restricted class of linear decision rules for a multireservoir system; their solution, however, may be far from the overall optimal policy.…”

This paper presents a pilot study of a method for finding an approximation for the optimal policy of a dynamic system which depends on stochastic state variables. The systems being considered are multi‐reservoir water supply systems whose (stochastic) state variables are the quantities of water in each reservoir and some previous inflows which affect future inflows. Of special importance is the three‐reservoir system which represents the major part of Israel's water supply system: Lake Kinneret and two underground aquifers. This system can be represented by five stochastic state variables: the quantities of water in each of the three reservoirs and the inflows into the Kinneret for the two previous months. Since this system is too large to be solved by the usual dynamic programing approach, a method was devised in this study for obtaining an approximate solution which does not consume too much time or space. This method will be referred to as the parameters iteration method. It has been tested on a smaller system which contains only three stochastic state variables: the amount of water in the Kinneret and two previous monthly inflows. The results were satisfactory in the sense that the approximate solution obtained by this method was as good as the optimal solution obtained by a dynamic programing approach to this problem. Thus it can be expected that the parameter iteration method would be efficient for the three reservoir problems as well and for larger problems.

“…supply and hydroelectric facilities to utilize best a regional water resource can constitute a complex and difficult optimization problem, and a number of methodologies have beer/ proposed for such optimization. Among these are a simulation approach [Hufschmidt and Fiering, 1966], a combination of dynamic and linear programing [Hall and Shephard, 1967], the use of operational hydrology and dynamic programing [Young, 1967], dynamic programing [Hall et al, 1968;Schweig and Cole, 1968;Jamieson and Wilkinson, 1972], dynamic programing and constrained capacity algorithm [Hall et al, 1969b], linear programing [ReVelle et al, 1969], incremental dynamic programing [Hall et al, 1969a;Yeh and Trott, 1972], a method based upon the DantzigrWolfe decomposition algorithm [Roefs and Bodin, 1970], Markov models [Gablinger and Loucks, 1970], discrete differential dynamic programing [Heidari et al, 1971 ], optimal state dynamic programing [Hall, 1972], chance-constrained reservoir model [Eisel, 1972], and stochastic dynamic programing [Dudley and Butt, 1973].…”

This paper addresses a typical requirement of real time multiple‐reservoir operation. A methodology is evolved utilizing a form of dynamic programing (DP) for the selection of an optimal reservoir storage policy path through a specified number of policy periods, and a linear programing (LP) routine is used for period by period optimization. The policy periods, in case of the real time operation, correspond to the number of time periods for which a streamflow prediction model is reasonably reliable. The method results in relatively easy computer implementation and high flexibility in that changes in constraints are simply made and additional reservoirs easily added. The method is of considerable value for the determination of release policies in real time operation of an existing system. As an example, application is made to a real system of reservoirs and hydroelectric facilities associated with the Shasta and Trinity sub‐systems of the California Central Valley Project.
