Abstract |
The purposes of the present study have been to develop a method for determination of an optimal flow regulation sequence for quality control from multiple reservoir sites; investigate various physical, biochemical, engineering design, and socio-economic parameters which may influence the optimal flow release sequence; demonstrate the response sensitivity of the method to these parameters in an actual basin; and investigate the significance of various definitions of optimal such as 'best' quality, minimum flow, and least-cost on the reservoir release sequences. |
