In studying WRS that belong to complex probability systems, it is necessary first to make a mathematical description of the input process of the system - the process of changing
the river flow. The use of the available series, which cover several decades of years (in
Bulgaria about 30-70 years), cannot reflect the alternation of sequences of high-water and
low-water years and the great diversity of the intra-annual runoff distribution, which
characterizes the different water years. For these reasons, studies based on the direct use
of insufficient available series are fraught with significant random errors in outflow
parameters and their values have low stability. The Monte Carlo method, based on the
statistical parameters and the distribution function, can more accurately reflect the
patterns of runoff and water consumption in the general population. It is based, instead of
the available time series, on the mathematically modeled long-term simulated realizations
for the runoff and water consumption and through processing in a balanced way the
realizations of the transformed process - the regulated outflow is obtained. By statistical
processing of the transformed process the responsibility functions characteristics 1) of the
runoff regulation, 2) of the overflowed water masses, 3) of the filling of the reservoir, 4)
of the drained water masses and 5) of the deficits during the unreliable period are
obtained. Without these characteristics, it is impossible to establish the optimal regulation
parameters. In reservoirs planning or managing, we work with the monthly data on river runoff. The
report presents a methodological approach (Methodology for determining volumes in
dams under Annex ?1 of the Water Act, www.moew.government.bg) based on the use
of modeled series in determining the available water resource and there are specified
management rules for dams with desired water management indicators. Generating of 500
or 1000 annual sequences of monthly water volumes was performed by the method of the
linear autoregression and the method of fragments. Based on the obtained series of
realizations of the inflow to the dams, it can be estimated the required reservoir useful volume, the maximum volume that can be submitted for water consumption, the
management functions are developed.
Stochastic modeling models are applied in practice on a number of projects and contracts
with different institutions. The application of the approach for the complex and significant
dams of Bulgaria (Iskar dam, Topolnitsa Dam) is presented.
