Abstract

The reliability and impact of several regulation policies on Lake Victoria in East Africa were investigated using the Water Rights Analysis Package (WRAP). Its reliability is determined by establishing the risk of policies failing to meet water demands. The impacts on the lake are evaluated by assessing the effect of policies for lake levels. Policies are based on (i) the lake's firm and safe water yields and (ii) dam turbine configurations at the lake's outlet. The present study demonstrated the applicability of WRAP in modelling large complex reservoirs and determined that constant release policies with a maximum limit of 1015 m³/s have low risks of failure and improve lake water-level stability.

东非维多利亚湖备用水库运营政策：平衡跨界和当地用水需求的框架

使用水权分析包（WRAP）调查了东非维多利亚湖若干监管政策的可靠性和影响。它的可靠性是通过确定政策无法满足用水需求的风险来确定的。通过评估湖泊水位政策的效果来评估对湖泊的影响。政策基于（i）湖泊的稳定和安全产水量，以及（ii）湖泊出口的大坝涡轮机配置。本研究证明了WRAP在大型复杂油藏建模中的适用性，并确定了最大限值为1015的恒定释放政策 m3/s具有较低的故障风险，并提高了湖泊水位的稳定性。
