Hydrologic Engineering Methods for Water Resources Development. Volume 7. Flood Control by Reservoirs.

Abstract

This is Volume 7 of a 12-volume report prepared by The Hydrologic Engineering Center as a part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' contribution to the International Hydrological Decade. Basic principles of reservoir operation for flood control are presented and procedures for establishing operational criteria are described. Topics include determination of reservoir release rates, regulation of the reservoir design flood, considerations for determining outlet and spillway regulation, determination of rule curves, and procedures for analyzing multiple-reservoir operation. The applicability of computer simulation for establishing operational criteria is discussed and several computer programs are described in the appendixes. (Author)
