Probabilistic Management of Water Resource and Hydropower Systems - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a first comprehensive publication to cover the application of stochastic hydrology together with sophisticated systems analysis techniques in water resources engineering. The methodology that was developed has been extensively applied in practice for more than five years for the real-time operating and development planning of large water resource systems with great success. The stochastic models and probabilistic techniques have been tested and proven under varied hydrological conditions from semi-desert to humid sub-tropical and mountain highland conditions. Although primarily aimed at complex multi-reservoir systems, serving multiple users with varying reliability of supply requirements, as well as hydropower generation, the methodology described applies equally well to simple single reservoir developments.
Acceptance today is not only due to the sound theory underlining the technique but also because of the methods deployed to communicate findings to decision makers and interested and affected parties, aided by a number of cases where decisions had led to substantial cost savings. This book is primarily aimed at professional water resources engineers and graduate students in water engineering. Consulting engineers, water authorities, water resource managers, hydropower authorities and universities will also benefit from it.
