Abstract:
Multipurpose reservoirs need to be operated and regulated efficiently with a high degree of
intelligence,intuition, and experience, in order to ensure that they are neither left partially
empty by the end of the rainy season, nor they are found full at the time of arrival of a series
of peak floods, leading to release, causing floods in the downstream valley.
Reservoir regulation committees, consisting of experts are, therefore, generally constituted to
ensure issue of proper and timely directives to the staffs operating the gated opening of the
reservoir, to avoid any bad and inefficient operations.
