Estimating Reservoir Storage Dynamics Using Satellite Remote Sensing and Hypsometric Information
Reservoirs are crucial components of the global water cycle, accounting for over half of the seasonal variability in global surface water storage. Their operation significantly influences downstream hydrology, ecosystem integrity, and water availability. However, a persistent lack of publicly …

Modeling Reallocation of Reservoir Storage Capacity Between Flood Control and Conservation Purposes
… portions of the large volumes of flood control storage capacity in federal multiple-purpose reservoirs in Texas and elsewhere to water supply and other conservation purposes has been growing for some time. Evaluation of storage reallocations involving tradeoffs between flood control and …

Assessing interactions between streamflow and reservoir storage: Integrated modeling of hydrological drought propagation to water supply
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2026-12-01

Model parameter uncertainty and climate change effects in hydropower vulnerability projections
… conditions exacerbated by climate change, with reservoir levels falling below minimum power pool thresholds. An under-examined component of this vulnerability is how model parameter uncertainty affects simulated reservoir levels. Here, I investigate the extent to which large-scale hydrologic …

Managing Complex Water Resource Systems for Ecological Integrity: Evaluating Tradeoffs and Uncertainty
… of flow alternatives on cottonwood recruitment, reservoir storage, hydropower production, and whitewater boating. In addition, I coupled two-dimensional hydrodynamic and Bayesian network models to assess the impacts of management scenarios on cottonwood recruitment on the Gila River, New Mexico. …

A Dynamic Decision Support System for Drought Resiliency and Climate Change
… most beneficial actions related to the timing of reservoir storage accumulation. TMWA's current drought response plan was seen to be adequate for the near future, but with the potential to be explored further for greater drought resiliency.

Physical Modelling of Tailings Dam Breach
… stages, exhibit sediment deposits located in the reservoir upstream of the dam crest (beaches) generated from slurry deposition, and are commonly designed with shallower upstream slopes in contrast with conventional water storage dams. Current breach models for the failure mode of overtopping, …

The distribution of dams in Costa Rica and their hydrologic impacts
… Assessment of large-scale impacts used potential reservoir storage to represent the hydrologic impact. Results indicate that large dams in Costa Rica are having a relatively low impact on the surface water component of the hydrologic cycle compared to temperate regions. However, this analysis …

Multiobjective Reservoir Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm
… of energy generation in a multipurpose reservoir. The objective functions and the constraints for the multiobjective optimization of reservoir operation for maximization of energy production involve the solution of a set of nonlinear equations governing pressure flow in penstock and …

Modelagem analítica da operação cronológica de reservatórios no despacho probabilístico de geração
… able to handle the chronological aspects of reservoir operation. It is shown that Baleriaux's idea can be generalized for stochastic problems which can be represented as linear network flows. In this way, the problem is decomposed into a sequence of analytical convolutions of reservoir …

Hydrologic sensitivities of western U.S. rivers to climate change
… have diverse management concerns as existing reservoir storage in these systems varies strongly. The total storage relative to annual inflow ratio of over four in the Colorado River, results in a management focus on total (annual) magnitudes in streamflow, whereas this ratio is about 0.3 in …

Effects of sedimentation on reservoirs in the Mushibemba catchment, Mkushi Farm Block, Central Zambia
… is one of the problems that affects the storage capacity of most small reservoirs, and if not addressed on time, may lead to the dams being filled up with sediment and failing to meet the intended objective of providing agricultural water for food and economic security. The aim of this …

WATER-ENERGY-CLIMATE NEXUS: INTERDEPENDANCIES AND TRADEOFFS, AND IMPLICATIONS FOR STRATEGIC RESOURCE PLANNING
… The last study assesses the potential of surface reservoir expansion for major river basins around the world as an adaption measure to secure a reliable water supply. Results suggest that conservation zones and future human migration will have a substantial, heterogeneous impact on the maximum …

Assessment of sediment and water quality in Sembrong Reservoir, Johor
Sembrong reservoir is a major water source for 240,000 people in the district of Kluang and parts of Batu Pahat. Depletion of storage capacity due to the sedimentation process and eutrophication has recently been the most concerning issues at the reservoir. The objectives of this research are to …

A quantitative analysis of shoreline erosion processes, Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota
… lost, water quality is adversely affected, and reservoir storage capacity is decreased. </p><p> Instrumentation of the eastern shores of both lakes began in 1983 to quantify bank erosion by process (e.g., wave erosion, rainsplash and runoff, and frost-thaw failure). Other data gathered included: …

A multifaceted analysis of diurnal streamflow patterns through the application of advanced analytical tools
… in relation to its effect on catchment reservoir storage. A novel method of estimating evapotranspiration (ET) rates is devised by establishing a relationship between diurnal streamflow changes and the catchment's riparian source area. The method reasonably estimated riparian …

The interacting hydrologic responses to changing climate, watershed physical characteristics, river regulation, and land development in the northeastern United States
… on flood plains. Furthermore, the current reservoir storage capacity in the Merrimack should be improved in order to accommodate excess water input and minimize flood damage. Future research should target changes in the magnitude and timing of high discharge events in order to develop …
