Abstract: This article presents a methodology for planning a modelfor the operation of a drinking water reservoir. The hedging ruledistributes deficits over a longer period of time by rationingthe supply of water and it makes the system sustainablewith a marginal reduction in supply. A methodology isdeveloped and demonstrated through a case study withthe Chennai city (India) water supply system which isa water shortage system requiring an efficient use ofwater. It is aimed at improving the reservoiroperation performance through the simulation–optimisationprocedure with the application of the hedging rule, whichis a more appropriate rule for reservoir operationunder deficit conditions. To speed up the optimisationprocess, a neural network model is developed for thesimulation of the reservoir system operation and is usedinstead of a conventional simulation model. Thecombined neural network simulation–optimisation modelis used for screening the operation policies. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1999
