Reservoir management in case of floods
Which facts must be known?
- in situ quality of tributaries (temperature, turbidity)
- in situ quality of water body (depth distribution)
- thermal structure of stratification
- thermal conditions and locations of inflow in the water body
Management:
- Drainage of water rich in nutrients and turbidity through ground
drains or level of highest turbidity
- Selection of extraction level of raw water in level of minimal turbidity
- Closing of transfer from adjacent catchment area
