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