Application of optimization techniques for determining the optimal operating policy of reservoirs is a major issue in water resources planning and management. As an optimization Genetic Algorithm, ruled by evolution techniques, have become popular in diversified fields of science. The main aim of this study is to explore the efficiency and effectiveness of genetic algorithm in optimization of multi-reservoirs. A computer code has been constructed for this purpose and verified by means of a reference problem with a known global optimum. Three reservoirs in the Colorado River Storage Project were optimized for maximization of energy production. Besides, a real-time approach utilizing a blend of online and a posteriori data was proposed. The results obtained were compared to the real operational data and genetic algorithm was found to be effective and can be utilized as an alternative technique to other traditional optimization techniques.

Characterization of groundwater and surface water interaction in kirmir stream using thermal remote sensing and in-stream measurements Varlı, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Department of Geological Engineering (2016) Effective management of water resources requires understanding and quantification of interaction between groundwater and surface water bodies. The exchange processes have recently received increasing attention because also they have important influences on ecological status of watersheds. The purpose of this study was to characterize the interaction between surface water - groundwater in Kirmir stream - a controlled stream nearby Kızılcahamam, Ankara, Turkey. At the first stage, stream reaches with interact...
Assessment and prediction of water quality parameters in Lake Köyceğiz using artificial neural network approach Özçelik, Oya; Alp, Emre; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2015) Water quality monitoring plays a significant role on water resources management and planning. European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive aims to achieve “good status” for all waters.. Within the adaptation period to EU, Turkey aims to improve its water quality monitoring network; however, this will lead to time, budget and human resources problems. Purpose of this thesis is the application of a method that will provide water quality assessment (WQA) under limited budget and data conditions. The method wa...
Estimation of river flow by artificial neural networks and identification of input vectors susceptible to producing unreliable flow estimates Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-15) Reliable river flow estimates are crucial for appropriate water resources planning and management. River flow forecasting can be conducted by conceptual or physical models, or data-driven black box models. Development of physically-based models requires an understanding of ail the physical processes which impact a natural process and the interactions among them. Since identification of the relationships among these physical processes is very difficult, data-driven approaches have recently been utilized in h...
Understanding Groundwater And Surface Waterexchange Processes Along A Controlled Stream Using Thermal Remote Sensing And in Situ Measurements Varlı, Dilge; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2016-12-16) Effective management of water resources requires understanding and quantification of interaction between groundwater and surface water bodies. Moreover, the exchange processes have recently received increasing attention due to important influences on biogeochemical and ecological status of watersheds. In this study we investigated the exchange processes between surface water and groundwater along Kirmir stream - a controlled stream nearby Kizilcahamam, Ankara, Turkey. At the first stage, potential stream re...
Simulation of streamflow using hydrologic modeling system HEC-HMS Erşahin, Berkan.; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Earth System Science (2020) Basin models are fundamental for water resources assessment, analyzing quality and quantity of streamflow, managing water distribution systems, protecting and developing groundwater systems, flood protection, and water-supply forecasting. The integration of all hydrologic processes with their interconnections to each other at the basin scale is required for basin models. Mathematical basin models such as HEC-HMS are used for simulating hydrological processes in basin-scale to understand basin response to st...
