Assess students' ability to apply hydrologic and climate-change projections with optimization methods to design reservoir operation strategies that balance flood control, water-supply reliability, and environmental flows. Scope: hydrologic model development and calibration, incorporation of climate scenarios and uncertainty, formulation of multi-objective objective functions and constraints, selection and implementation of optimization approaches (e.g., multi-objective optimization, stochastic dynamic programming/SDDP, simulation–optimization, robust optimization), evaluation using performance metrics (flood risk, reliability, resilience, environmental flow indices), trade-off and Pareto analysis, scenario comparison, and clear communication of management recommendations under uncertainty.
