The objective of this study was the development of a technological model describing
the effects of different reservoir management strategies on reservoir water quality
and quantity, flood retention capacity, the ecological state of the underflow and drinking
water treatment.
Users of this decision support tool should be able to predict certain states of reservoir
water quality and quantity and the underflow's ecological quality as well as their effects
on drinking water treatment. This technological model should offer the possibility
of finding optimal reservoir management strategies for current or prospective incidents
using definite target values and limits as input data.
The secondary focus of this study is aimed at the description of the impact of varying
raw water qualities on drinking water treatment and supply. Water suppliers should
use this tool to determine the optimal reaction to changing raw water conditions (e. g.
during extreme rain events or droughts, because of modified management strategies
or climate change) to guarantee a secure and sustainable water supply. The objective
is to make separate predictions of treatment capacity and costs of different
treatment technologies for various possible raw water qualities. Includes 8 references, table, figures.
