Title Optimizing Selective Withdrawal from Reservoirs to Manage Downstream Temperatures with Climate Warming
Creator Rheinheimer, David E Null, Sarah E. Lund, Jay R.
Description Selective withdrawal systems can take advantage of thermal stratification in reservoirs to manage downstream temperatures. Selective withdrawal might also help adapt operations to environmental changes, such as increased stream temperatures expected with climate change. This exploratory study develops a linear programming model to release water from different thermal pools in reservoirs to minimize deviations from target downstream temperatures. The model is applied with representative...
