Optimal operation of an upstream reservoir for flood control

This thesis describes the development of a method for determining the most efficient way to operate an upstream flood control reservoir for maximum flood peak reduction at a downstream point. Linear programming is used as the optimization technique. A simplified case is studied, namely that of a sin...
