Optimal Reservoir Operation Planning of Tekeze Cascade Hydropower Development
Abera Ejigu Akelate
Management of water resources has become a major challenge in recent years. Reservoir
operation is designed based on the interrelated hydrological, physical, and operational
parameters that have direct and indirect relation on the water resource activity to the
downstream of the reservoir.
In the next 30 years, water use will increase by 50% in the world. By 2025, about 4 billion
people will live under conditions of severe water stress (Gourbesvivelli, 2008).
Therefore, development of priority water infrastructures and improvements of water
management have essential and complementary roles in contributing to sustainable
growth and poverty reduction in developing countries like Ethiopia. One way of improving
water management is through increasing efficiency of dam reservoirs. Increasing the
efficiency reservoir by using optimal reservoir operation is among the solutions for improvement
of hydropower generation.
