Current Research Project
Stochastic Approaches for Sustainable Water Resources Management in Semiarid Regions
Development of computer models that apply mathematical optimization techniques in order to devise operating rules for storage reservoirs located in semiarid regions. The models are based on stochastic approaches that take into account the randomness of reservoir inflows. The goal is to produce conditional operating rules that can guide the operators to decide the volume of water to allocate for each user.
