| Abstract | Due to the rapid extension of the irrigation projects in the Chao Phraya River Basin, the total water demand of the basin is expected to be higher than
the supplying capacity of the basin in 1985 and the shortage will be more severe in 1990. To cope with the situation Mae Ing-Mae Yorn-Chao Phraya Transbasin Diversion Scheme has been considered by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand to divert a large amount of water from Mekong River into the Chao Phraya
Basin . The present study is made of determination of the operation policy of the new reservoir system consisting of the Bhumibol , Sirikit and proposed Kaeng Suaten Reservoirs. The simulation technique is used to determine the most feasible rule curves of the proposed Kaeng Suaten Dam in connection with the pumping operation of the proposed Mae Ing- Mae Yorn-Chao Phraya Tranbasin Diversion Scheme.
The objective of the system considered is to maximize the total benefit with minimum water shortages. Two priorities are considered in the simulation , one is power priority and another is diversion priority. The existing system operation is also simulated considering both the existing and 1990 water requirements with the two policies . The results obtained are compared with the case of transbasin scheme. The existing rule curves of the Bhumibol and Sirikit Dams are modified and the most feasible rule curves of the ·proposed Kaeng Suaten, Bhumibol and Sirikit Dams are recommended together according to the selected priority of the operation . |
