Abstract
Thispaper established theCost‐BenefitOptimizationModelof cascade reservoirs toprovide the most economic address selection planning. We applied the SimplifiedTriangleMethodforFloodRoutingtoestimatetheMaximumandminimumdischargeofeachdam,provided themanagementstrategies indifferentmonthsand locations forZRA.

ManagementoftheDamintheFloodingIn the flood season, the reservoirswith small capacity, low altitude, large flow, suffers thelargestadverseinfluences.Thelengthsofaffectedtimearetheentirefloodseason.Floodseasonatdifferentdamsitesisdifferent,sotheaffectedtimeisalsodifferent.Accordingtothehistoricaldata,whentheaverageflowismorethan1000m3/s,floodseasonisarriving.Thenmeasuresshouldbetakeninflooddischarge.For theNo.12dam, the floodseason is fromFebruary to June,and themaximumexpecteddischarges are most likely to occur in March. Therefore, during this period, the reservoirmanagementpersonnelshouldincreasedischargesaccordingtotheactualsituationinordertoavoidtheriskofburst.From2.3.2wecanseethatthemaximumexpecteddischargesisaffectedbythetimeofflooddischarge.Whenthefloodseasonlasts,themaximumexpecteddischargesinthismonthcanbelargerthanthatinthestorageflood.Forthenextmonth,thetimeofflooddischargeshouldbelongerthan54days.Whenthefloodseasonisabouttopass,themaximumexpecteddischargesforthemonthshouldbelessthanthestorageflood,inordertostorewaterforthedryseason,thetimeshouldbelessthan54days.6.2.2.
