Revolutionizing flood control: Reservoirs now maximize benefits without sacrificing safety.
Researchers studied how to control flood levels in reservoirs more effectively. By analyzing rainfall and flood forecasts, they identified ways to improve reservoir operations without sacrificing flood control. This method helps balance flood control and maximizing reservoir benefits, leading to better water resource management. The study focused on Geheyan reservoir and showed that dynamic control of flood levels can be a superior and feasible approach.
