Abstract

The big water reservoirs of a hydroelectric system collect water during high river flows for use during low flows. The problem considered is how to use such stored water in the face of uncertain future flow. A method for handling the problem has been formulated and used to obtain numerical results for a simple case on a high-speed digital computer.
