Abstract
This issue presents fours papers related to managing water quantity (Correa-Ibanez et al., 2018; O'Donnell et al., 2018; Qaderi et al., 2018) and quality (Jones and Bridgeman, 2018). The control and operation of reservoirs is extremely important, not only to managing the available water resources to satisfy the water demand of a particular region, but also to meeting other stakeholder needs such as flood risk management, energy generation, irrigation, water quality management, and so on. Additionally, rising water demands put more pressure on water resources. It is therefore not surprising that optimal reservoir operation is an active topic of research. The paper by Qaderi et al. (2018) presents an optimisation algorithm (known as the water cycle algorithm) for the optimal operation of a multi-reservoir system. The algorithm demonstrated a better performance when compared with other well-known optimisation algorithms (e.g. genetic algorithm, harmony search, particle swarm optimisation and imperialist competitive algorithm) to optimise reservoir water demand and reservoir storage deficits.
