additional water supply, such as 0.17, 0.50, 0.70, 1.00, 1.50, and 3.00 m 3 /sec. The<br />

cases in which the amounts <strong>of</strong> additional water supply are less than 0.70 m 3 /sec with<br />

target water stages lower than 194.0 m show that the hydro-electric power outputs are<br />

more than the historical average, and the total amounts <strong>of</strong> water supply are less<br />

influenced by the amounts <strong>of</strong> additional water supply.<br />

4. Conclusions<br />

The objective <strong>of</strong> the study is to develop an optimal reservoir operation model and to<br />

suggest the appropriate amount <strong>of</strong> additional water supply and optimal operation rule <strong>of</strong><br />

reservoirs. The model uses a non-linear, multiple objective function and a global<br />

optimum search method, the SCE-UA method. The objective function is to establish<br />

ways to maintain target reservoir storage amounts, to satisfy the demand for water, and to<br />

maximize the hydro-electric power outputs. To evaluate the model's applicability, the<br />

model is applied to operations <strong>of</strong> an irrigation reservoir and a multi-outlet reservoir. In<br />

addition, the model is used for assessing an additional water supply project to satisfy<br />

increasing water demand downstream. The results after comparing optimal operations<br />

and historical data in three case studies show that the model can provide reasonable<br />

results and, consequently, it can be used for assessing water supply capacities <strong>of</strong><br />

reservoirs.<br />
