Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose an operation rule for the multipurpose reservoirs in the Mae Klong River Basin so that the water users can have a more stable water supply, which creates no adverse influence on hydropower generation The authors analyze the operation records of water resource systems for the last thirteen years, revealing that a substantial amount of water released from multipurpose reservoirs mainly for power generation was followed by water shortage problems A new operation rule, which includes rule curves of two seasonal storage lines (an upper and a lower storage line), is proposed The upper storage line indicates the upper limit for the prevention of water from overflowing during the flood season, while the lower line indicates a minimum amount of water for downstream water uses A simulation of the reservoir operation shows the effectiveness of the proposed principles.
