Abstract: Flood control and protection measures at large dams are very important segments in water economy activities. Many water economy systems with reservoirs are operated in a nonadaptive way and follow some rigid control rules. Very often designed and constructed reservoirs are overestimated or underestimated for the reasons of either short hydrological data series or that time limited methodology techniques. Together with the new world tendency of keeping the dam safety in evacuation of maximum probable flood, it is more then obvious that the flood control and reservoir operation at long time exploitation systems have to be re-examined.
