Alternative Approaches to Water Resource System Simulation.

Abstract

Two techniques for simulating the operation of a complex water resource system are demonstrated. One technique uses a network analysis approach and the other uses a sequential search procedure as a solution technique. The two are applied to a simplified version of the proposed Texas Water System, including a major import facility and two major canal systems containing nine reservoirs or groups of reservoirs and three other major delivery points. The relative capabilities and effectiveness of the two simulation models are discussed and demonstrated in relation to detailed simulation of the operation under stochastic variations of inputs and demands in a 17-year period.
