Drainage and management of offseason rain water in multipurpose reservoir using fuzzy model

Abstract

The function and management of the reservoir are fully dependent on the past history of the average weather. With the increase of global warming, there is an increase in temperature in the atmosphere, which results in melting ice in the polar region, increasing sea water labels, etc. These have bad impacts on our environment like floods and drought. It is difficult to predict the weather due to rapid changes in the climates. Then the offseason rainwater can be used to manage the crisis of the uncertain situation. This paper introduces a novel fuzzy model to redistribute reservoir water for different purposes based on the offseason rain intensity. The model has been developed for the period of the non-monsoon season with the set of parameters like inflow, outflow, rain intensity, water demand among the power generation, civil utilization, harvesting, industrial production, etc. The model has been optimized to obtain water distribution based on requirements for different purposes and maximize revenues.
