Methodology for adaptive management of water reservoirs during hydrological drought
This article presents a methodology for the adaptive management of water reservoirs designed to ensure a reliable water supply under condi-tions of hydrological drought and climate change. The proposed approach combines hydrological modelling, climate change scenarios, and the optimisation of rule curves with regulation levels. The management system allows for flexible restrictions on water abstractions and the adjustment of minimum residual flows depending on the current state of the reservoir. A pilot application of the methodology was carried out on selected Czech reservoirs (Švihov, Klíčava, Žlutice, Obecnice, Pilská, Láz, Vrchlice) under current climate conditions and future scenarios for 2050 and 2100.
