Abstract
Limitations on water resources and the high costs of new hydraulic structure construction intensify the need for an optimum operation of Iranian reservoir systems. For appropriate water distribution and management in a 9-reservoir system on the Kalamarz river, Mianeh basin optimizing mathematical models are applied. Considering the stochastic nature of river discharges and the constant amount of reservoir volume and farmland area, an optimum linear chance constrained model is programmed and run by GAMS software. This model is only used for within-year regulation. Using a linear yield regulation, operation parameters for request months and all reservoirs are derived by the model. Also, the model computes portions of river discharge diverted to each reservoir in different months and outflow from downstream for different months. Results show greater than 60 percent deficit that indicates the lack of sufficient attention to constructing an optimum reservoir volume and extensive development of farmlands for each reservoir.
