Abstract

Nowadays, effective water management becomes more vital all over the worlds. Due to the effect of climate change and population growth, reservoirs play a more important role in water resources management. Reservoirs can be used for multiple purposes such as irrigation, industrial water supply, hydropower generation, flood protection, water quality management, recreation and so on. In this paper, an optimized model have been considered and solved based on the goal programming method for the optimal operation of a multi-objective two reservoir systems in Sefidrud watershed. Release for irrigation demand and environment, flood controlling and recreation are represented as objectives. Then, to consider uncertainties and also for achieving the general method for reservoirs operation, because of the considerable advantages of linguistic rules in better inferring and interpretation of systems, an adaptive neuro based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach is used to construct operation rules for these multipurpose reservoirs. The results of the ANFIS models show that they can be applied successfully to provide high accuracy for the management of the reservoirs system.
