An Approach to Reservoir Regulation for Reducing the Risk of Exceeding the Flood Storage Capacity during Flash Floods

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The problem of reservoir regulation during catastrophic rain floods is addressed. The main hypothesis is that the possibility of decreasing the water storage before the onset of a flood based on previous precipitation data depends on the regulation rules for the Krasnodar Reservoir. According to the main results, before the beginning of a catastrophic flood, the water storage can be decreased so as not to create water-supply deficit for the water consumers because it is possible to replenish the storage by the end of the flood. The use of the conventional reservoir regulation rules shows that the Krasnodar Reservoir has lost the required reliability, necessitating improvement of the rules. The modeling of the reservoir characteristics shows that preliminary storage reduction before the flood peak based on precipitation data from the chosen meteorological predictor stations can significantly reduce the degree of utilization of the flood-control storage and the risks of an emergency for the dam and surroundings.
