title: Deriving robust operating rules for the interim control of the Kirazdere reservoir.
abstract: A methodology is developed for deriving robust operating rules for the interim control of a multipurpose reservoir. The methodology includes the generation of policies using optimisation models, the derivation of robust operating rules using artificial neural networks and the evaluation of the identified policies through simulation. The approach developed is demonstrated through an application to the Kirazdere Reservoir located on the Kiraz River in Turkey.
