Multi-purpose reservoir operation oncomitant with estimating hydropower potential using multifarious hydrological models.

The research aims at determining the optimal release rule to increase the capacity of Rib reservoir. The reservoir inflow using HBV-light hydrological model embracing optimal reservoir operation through HEC-ResSim model were used to prepare an optimum operational plan. The potential of the river for hydropower generation prioritise the demand at a specified level regarding storage capacity (m), level of reservoir (m), and the relation between inflow and outflow of the reservoir.
