Report documenting the development of the HEC-Prescriptive Reservoir Model and its application of analyzing the operation of the Columbia River reservoir system. The model represents the system as a network and uses network- flow programming to allocate optimally the system water. Two applications are documented: (1) a validation test to determine the applicability of the model for the system, and (2) analysis of the critical period. The applications are performed using the best-currently-available estimates of flow data and penalty functions.

This paper overviews the general features of computer program 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems', with emphasis on the capabilities of the most recent release of HEC-5, Version 7.2, dated March 1991. HEC-5 can simulate the essential features and operation goals and constraints of simple or complex systems with simulation intervals ranging from minutes to one month. Single event flood analysis and period of record conservation analysis may be accomplished with the model. Flood control analysis includes balanced system operation for downstream damage centers with consideration of forecasted local flows and hydrologic routing. In addition, induced surcharge operation based on spillway gate regulation schedules can be simulated. Hydropower analysis may include run-of-river, peaking, and pumped storage plants as well as system power operation. Water supply simulation can include reservoir and downstream flow requirements in addition to divers ions and return flows. Water Quality analysis can include simulation of temperature, dissolved oxygen, up to three conservative and up to three nonconservative constituents.

The Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed a generalized simulation model capable of analyzing complex river-reservoir systems. The development of the model, 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' (Eichert, 1974, 1975) has been paced by the changing mission of the Corps as well as the evolution of computer systems. HEC-5 development and management, including code development, testing, documentation, training and field application experience, is discussed. (fr).

This report reviews tasks accomplished during Phase I of the project and describes tasks accomplished during Phase II. Phase II tasks include: (1) Additional development of the HEC-Prescriptive Reservoir Model (HEC-PRM), (2) Development of new and enhancement of existing utility programs related to HEC- PRM, (3) Transfer of developed technology to the Missouri River Division, and (4) Preliminary review of procedures for developing system operating rules from HEC-PRM results. The model uses network-flow programming to allocate optimally the system water. In Phase II, the modeled system was extended to include navigation on the Mississippi River by including a node at St. Louis. The applications are performed using the best-currently-available estimates of flow data and penalty functions, both of which must be considered to be preliminary and are basically those used in the Phase I analysis. This report includes draft documentation which describes the current version of the program and selectively displays example input and output.

This paper summarizes the Interim findings of the second phase of the HEC-PRM Columbia River application. The HEC-PRM represents the Columbia system as a link-node network and uses network-flow programming to optimize, in time and space, flow and storage in the system. The representation of operational goals in HEC-PRM is accomplished through flow, storage, and energy economic penalty functions. Operational purposes represented by penalty functions included hydropower, water supply, flood control, navigation, recreation, and anadromous fish. The application was based on fifty year period-of-record with a monthly time interval. The HEC data storage system, HEC-DSS, was utilized extensively for data management and analysis of results.
