Reservoir operation problems are complicated by the nonlinearities in the objective functions. The dynamic programing (DP) procedure is often used to solve this problem because of the sequential nature of the decisions involved, but for simultaneous operations of multireservoir systems, other DP‐based techniques are frequently found to be more efficient in overcoming the curse of dimensionality problem caused by the interdependencies of the decisions. In this paper, another DP‐based procedure is proposed which performs better than the other well‐known techniques. The applications of this technique are presented in two different formulations for four‐reservoir operation problems. The convergence properties of the algorithm are investigated as revealed from the systematic solutions of a control problem with various dimensions.
