| Abstract | Effective reservoir management is critical for addressing water scarcity and ensuring water security, especially in drought-prone regions. However, traditional reservoir operation methods, such as the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), often fail to adequately balance water deficits and surpluses under changing climatic and demand conditions. This study addresses these limitations by integrating the Harris Hawks Optimization (HHO) algorithm with a reservoir simulation model, aiming to enhance operational efficiency at Ubolratana Dam in northeastern Thailand. The research evaluates the Hedging Rule (HR) against SOP benchmarks, highlighting its ability to reduce average water shortages and excessive water releases. Using historical management data, monthly inflow patterns, and current water demand, the proposed HR framework demonstrates a 53% reduction in water shortages and a 19% decrease in excessive releases compared to existing practices. These results underscore the significant potential of optimization-based approaches in improving reservoir resilience and reliability. This study fills a critical gap in sustainable water management by offering a robust and adaptable framework for optimizing reservoir operations in regions vulnerable to climate variability. |
