Reservoir Operation using Multiple Regressed Monthly operation Rules

Abstract

The object of the project is to find out the monthly draft (release) of water from a reservoir to a drought affected area using multiple regressed equations. The purpose is to find an optimal operating policy. i.e a schedule indicating volumes of water to be kept in storage or released from a storage facilities at given points in time.
The project involves the study of reservoir data of a drought affected area. In the computation of the outflows the principle of multiple linear regression. In this method we have taken a dependent variable and 2 independent variables. These are related as in the equation:
Y=a+bX+cZ
where ,
a ,b ,c are constants.X and Z are independent variables.Y is the dependent variable
The project covers extensively about how to get the output from this equation.
