Digital Simulation of An Existing Water Resources System.
Abstract
A review of the operation of the existing reservoir system in the Arkansas, White and Red River basins was presented. The system is composed of 23 reservoir projects. Presently, flood control, navigation and hydroelectric power production are considered the primary demands. Digital simulation was used to analyze and evaluate the operation or the system. The procedure involved postulating an operation plan, operating the simulation model to determine the results of the plan, evaluating the results in terms of the desired operation objectives, modifying the proposed plan to rectify any errors or inconsistencies in the policy as indicated by the results of the simulation study and repeating the process until the desired objectives were realized. Basic physical, climatologic and hydrologic data were collected, analyzed and prepared for use in a computer study. It was concluded that simulation is an effective tool for studying the operation of existing water resource systems. Further research must be done to identify and quantify parameters to measure whether the objective is being satisfied.
