Abstract: The sequence of reservoir operations has a profound influence on the regulation and storage capacity of reservoir groups to effectively utilise the natural water inflow and external water transfer in the basin, especially for reservoir groups with water supply tasks. This study establishes the reservoir operation sequence (ROS) of four reservoir group modes, aiming at national economic and ecological water consumption, constructs a model of ROS-based multi-objective ecological operation of the reservoir group, and uses the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) method to optimise the solution. Analysing the results of the three schemes in two scenarios at the Yinma River Basin (YRB) indicates that after the Central Jilin Water Supply Project is put into operation, not only will the production and living water be effectively improved, but also the ecological water in the basin. Then, we compared the optimisation results of different water supply sequences in series and parallel reservoirs, which illustrates that the ROS of the four modes formulated in this research is the optimal water supply sequence.
