Abstract: A decision support system (DSS) has been developed for integrated, real-time flood control in a multi-reservoir system. The DSS integrates an optimisation module with a geographic information system, and a graphical dialogue interface allowing effective use by system operators. A neuro-dynamic programming technique, which overcomes numerous limitations of stochastic dynamic programming, is introduced for determining the optimal release policy under flood conditions. The method is illustrated by a real-world case study.
