Many multipurpose reservoirs are situated in the low mountain range of Germany. Most of them are necessary for drinking water supply and flood protection as well. Other utilizations are recreation, water power and the downstream low water regulation during dry seasons. The operation rules of the reser-voirs have to be optimized to meet the different requirements of use. One tool within this framework is a management system for river basins including all reservoirs and their specific operation rules affecting the downstream reaches.
As an optimization objective for instance the minimization of inundation risks can be defined. In this case the risk can be defined as hydraulic and hydrologic safety of the reservoir itself and the risk due to inundation and damaging in the downstream regions. Considering the European Water Framework Directive the ecological aspect of reservoir management is one more point in the optimization process. To es-tablish a pilot project the software TALSIM will be applied to river catchments in the ore mountains (Saxony).
