I have a multipurpose dam with hydropower, irrigation and water supply. I need to optimize water balance budget for the various component. Can anyone help me with a software or excel based program to perform the optimisation analysis?
@Mehran A. Thank you for your idea, i appreciate. Although am not familiar with Matlab codes, i read it can be useful in simulating water budget senario.
Hi Ozomata, you can try with WEAP (https://www.weap21.org) or Riverware (https://www.riverware.org).
I hope this helps!

@Ankur S. Your article multi-model approach... was insightful. Thank you
A little bit outdated, but still good for estimating required reservoir volumes from monthly water budgets may be the sequent peak algorithm. A short summary of the sequent peak algorithm is in one of our public Python programming exercises:
