Estimating Dam Reservoir Level Fluctuations Using Data-Driven Techniques

Water-resource investigations should embrace and deal with effective reservoir water storage, which can be employed for water supply, irrigation, providing flood and drought control, hydropower and energy security of local generation.Dam reservoirs are used to provide storage for water and are important elements in planning and managing water resources.If the dam reservoir level is estimated correctly, the most suitable dam operation performance can be obtained.Reservoir level parameters are inflow to reservoir, water storage in reservoir, water release from reservoir, evaporation, soil moisture and infiltration.They represent uncertainties and must be considered in water resource operation.Reservoir water level is also important in the analysis and design of several water resource projects such as dam construction, irrigation needs and flood control.During a flood, the opening of the dam weir passage should be sufficient to ensure that reservoir
