Abstract: Flood management in a reservoir setting is one of the most important control objectives in a watershed system. Optimization of flood-control operations for a multi-reservoir system is a large-scale and complicated task. Such a system is dynamic and involves multiple objectives. A dynamic control system for multi-reservoir management is presented in this paper. The real-time approach enables operation decisions to be made in a timely fashion. The reservoir system is divided into subsystems with specific flood control objectives. Methods of fuzzy set theory and expert system are used to represent the uncertainties and complexities that exist in the study system. Domain knowledge is collected and a knowledge base is constructed. This decision support system will be used to deal with the uncertain relationships among various system components.
