| Abstract | This study is to find the reservoir operation rule of Bhumibol reservoir, month by month throughout the year. This operation rule is shown in the form of the discharge at any reservoir elevation in the given month. To find the discharges, the constraints of multi-purposes are used. Based on the assumption t hat the inflow of each calendar month has its own probability distribution. The dynamic programming technique is used to optimize all benefit .functions. One hundred years of generated data of monthly rainfall and runoff are used in this study. The simulation of the reservoir operation is done by using the derived operation rules and the generated hydrologic time series. The monthly reservoir elevations from the simulation are classified for each calendar month to be a frequency distribution. The probability density functions of \'log-normal\' type are fitted to the distribution of monthly elevation. |
