Multi-agent real-time decision making in water resources systems
Optimal utilization of natural resources such as water, wind and land over extended periods of time requires a carefully designed framework coupling decision making and a mathematical abstraction of the physical system. On one hand, the choice of the decision-strategy can set limits/bounds on the …

OPTIMIZATION FOR CALIBRATION OF WATER RESOURCES SYSTEMS INCLUDING NEW PARALLEL GLOBAL ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS TO HYDRODYNAMICS AND WATER QUALITY LAKE PDE MODELS
… optimization problems and applies them to water resources issues. A new parallel surrogate global optimization algorithm PODS is developed and successfully applied to the calibration of two computationally expensive 3D hydrodynamic lake models (5 hours per simulation). We also introduce …

Development of web-based supporting tools for generic diagnostic reservoir operation
… adopted in building decision support systems to make academic advances accessible to practitioners. In this thesis, a web-based support system for reservoir operation, named diagnostic generic reservoir operation tools (DROT), is developed and deployed for public access. DROT …

SARIMA Short to Medium-Term Forecasting and Stochastic Simulation of Streamflow, Water Levels and Sediments Time Series from the HYDAT Database
… forecasting and simulation of streamflow, water levels, and sediments in Canada using Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) time series models. The methodology can account for linear trends in the time series that may result from climate and environmental changes. A …

A Cooperative Game Theory Approach for Cost Allocation in Complex Water Resource Systems
In order to obtain an optimal water resource planning and management, a fair and efficient rule of cost allocation among the different water users has a very important function. Starting from a correct assignation of costs it is possible to establish the basis to define the pricing policy that …

Agent-based models of socio-hydrological systems for exploring the institutional dynamics of water resources conflict
… capacity in a basin and the level of water conflict in that basin, suggesting that higher levels of institutional capacity will lead to reduced levels of water conflict in a given system. I test the substance of this theory using comparative, simulation-based analysis of water …

Development of a model for optimizing water storage
… model to determine storage strategies for water supply purpose in multi-reservoir systems. The specific goals in designing a multi-reservoir system for water supply purpose is to optimize the reservoir sizes and configurations to satisfy demands for water supply at the minimum cost. Four …

Optimisation of hedging-integrated rule curves for reservoir operation
… as guides for managing and operating reservoir systems. However, this approach saves no water for impending droughts, resulting in large shortages during such droughts. This problem can be tempered by integrating hedging with the rule curves to curtail the water releases during normal periods of …
