The Operational Pattern of the Dam and Weir Cascade on the Way Sekampung River

Abstract

Utilization of the water flow of the Way Sekampung River from upstream to downstream in a cascade (tiered) nature. Reservoir operation is a reservoir of inflow that enters the reservoir and the release of reservoir water to supply water needs downstream. Reservoir operational simulation is a reservoir water release modeling technique to supply downstream water needs based on the storage capacity and inflow into the reservoir. The principle of the reservoir operating pattern is to balance water availability and water demand, or what is known as the water balance. The derivative of the water balance is water allocation, where the variable amount and time of available water availability is not the same as water demand, so it is necessary to allocate between demand and supply of water using reservoirs.
