Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces methods for solving the technical and economic problems posed by water reservoirs, so as to ensure they have the best possible economic and social effect. The significance of reservoirs and the development of their function in water management is assessed, and they are classified according to origin and placing. Among the methods for solving the reservoir's function, both graphical and numerical procedures are described, based on the probability theory and mathematical statistics. In the explanation of the supply function of the reservoirs, attention is paid to the processing of hydrological data, the respective probability distribution is assessed, the theory of stochastic processes is explained, and methods of modelling the sequence of mean annual and monthly discharges are mentioned. The demands of consumers and the reliability of water supply are analysed. All types of reservoir discharge control are presented, i.e. multi-year, annual, short-term and compensation. A solution is given for the discharge control in reservoir systems and in special cases of water management, as well as in individual reservoirs. To describe the flood control function of reservoirs, hydrological data are evaluated, the precision of the flood regime characteristics is assessed, the flood routing in a reservoir is resolved, and the question of flood control is discussed. Control of a reservoir is ensured by a special space, as well as by utilizing the supply and overflow components of the reservoir.A separate part is devoted to the water management operations of reservoirs, mentioning the rules for control of the discharge from reservoirs in permanent operation, mainly using central control, and for the study and evaluation of the water management function of reservoirs. The last part of the book describes solutions for new reservoir functions resulting from their incorporation into water management systems and their function in the environment. The basic types of water management systems are described, as well as conditions for their optimal operation. In a similar way, the distribution of investment and operation costs for the various parts of a complex water management project are discussed in detail, as well as the economic impact of the reliability of water supply and flood control. The physical, chemical, biological and social consequences of reservoirs and their significance in creating a cultural landscape are analysed.The book is mainly intended for those who are involved in the development, preparation and operation of water management schemes and students of graduate and post-graduate courses in the field of water management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study is based on recreation use data collected at seven Corps of Engineers reservoirs in California. The two basic objectives of the study were to evaluate and attempt to isolate factors influencing recreation use, and develop recreation use prediction models. The technique used is multiple linear regression. The study generalizes the 'Clawson-Hotelling' prediction model for estimating demand at selected reservoirs in California using distance from the site as a proxy for price. Alternative prediction models employ distance zones about sites or county of origin of users of each site, and results from the alternative models are compared. The various factors or variables examined included socio-economic variables relating to income, age, education, urbanization, and population of the zones (counties) and certain site specific variables to differentiate either quality and/or quantity of the recreation experience at reservoirs. Findings of the study relate only to recreation use prediction at reservoir sites in California. However, these findings will provide the bases for development of more sophisticated prediction models having wider application and also for further studies in the determination of the economic value of water-based recreation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the current issues and recent international developments in reservoir planning and operation, design and construction, monitoring and maintenance. In the light of the recent climatic changes which have seen a reduction in rainfall and resulted in water shortages, a number of pertinent subjects are examined in detail, for example the provision of new resources, evaluation of optimal operating policies, review of water supply options, sedimentation effects, the environmental aspects and the economic viability of reservoirs.
