| Popis: | We consider the problem of determining water withdrawal depth in water supply reservoirs with multilevel intakes in an effective and systematic manner. In the traditional way, operators decide which intake port to use based on their own experience and water samples taken from various depths. Our goal is to provide assistance to operators in the decision-making process and establish a systematic approach for determining the appropriate water withdrawal level in a stratified reservoir. To achieve this, we propose an algorithmic approach as a decision support system for estimating the water withdrawal level. We validate our approach using long-term data collected from a water supply reservoir and compare the results with those of the operator's decisions. The results reveal that when the depth tolerance is set to 10 m, the approach and operator's decisions match at an 80% rate. However, when the depth tolerance is increased to 15 m, the matching percentage improves to over 90%. HIGHLIGHTS A new approach was designed to act as a decision support system for selective withdrawal in stratified water supply reservoirs.; The system takes a depth-temperature profile as input and automatically determines the location of thermal stratification, which is used to recommend the depth of water withdrawal to the operator.; The approach was validated using long-term (22 years) data collected from Yuvacık Reservoir in Turkey.; The consistency of withdrawal depths determined by the approach and the operator was investigated.; The depth decisions made by the approach comply with the operator's decision up to 90%.; |
