This analysis estimates area-volume-height curves in a reservoir, highlighting implications for water management in Syria.
The aim of this study is to improve water management by estimating the area-volume-height (AVH) curves of 16 Tishreen Reservoir. Using Gis technologies and high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data from the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) 30, we apply two different methodologies within QGIS 3.30.1 (the first method without modification to the DEM structure and the second with modification to the DEM structure) to derive mathematical relationships. These relationships define the interdependence between reservoir height and volume, and reservoir area and volume. Given the challenges faced by Syria such as data scarcity, accessibility issues and high cost, remote sensing becomes a vital tool for consistent data collection. The calculated AVH curves will not only allow accurate estimation of reservoir volume, which is crucial for hydrological analysis, engineering projects and water management, but will also contribute to hydrological databases. These databases play an important role in solving water-related problems and help optimize water management practices. By utilizing advanced GIS and remote sensing technologies, this study aims to provide a cost-effective and affordable solution to the pressing need for accurate hydrological data in the region.
