Optimization of Multi-Reservoir Management Rules Subject to Climate and Demand Change in the Potomac River Basin
Water management in the Washington Metropolitan Area (WMA) is challenging because the system relies on flow in the Potomac river, which is largely uncontrolled and augmented by the Jennings-Randolph reservoir, located 9-10 days travel time upstream. Given this lag, release decisions must be made …
