Optimum Exploitation of Alavian Dam Reservoir Using Ant Colony Algorithm

One of the most important problem in water resources management is the optimum exploitation of dams reservoir. This task has been accomplished by various ways. Heuristic algorithms have been used for sometimes because of the old methods are difficult and expensive. One of the most important algorithm is ant colony algorithm. In this study for resolving the problem of optimization in reservoir system of the Alavian dam, located in the Soofi Chay basin in Maragheh used to 21 years data. The current study shows that the spillway inflow in the reservoir is more than and also to procure irrigation demand. So that reservoir is discrete model amounts to forced that to select the sample data that reason of balcony optimization amounts for irrigation demand and when have a few difference as compare with agriculture demand and storage in the reservoir with discrete distance.
