The implementation phase will start with the development of this software framework under the name RTC-Tools 2.0, and use this framework to implement the various test cases and proof that the conceptual and technical difficulties of binary decisions, logical constraints and multi-objective decisions in operational water management under forecast uncertainty can be overcome. If successful, this prototype software framework will be developed into a more mature version to be released under open source license conditions and used by other TKI Deltatechnology projects such as DEL029 - JIP Slim Malen and DEL021 - Rekenen aan slim watermanagement in de praktijk.
Results
The results of this inventory is presented in this overview table. More details are available in the inception report.

Case | Description | Application | Comments |
HM-RR | Hydrological Modeling (Rainfall Runoff) according a classical HBV approach based on operator splitting | Rainfall runoff model in variational data assimilation | Optimization variables << model states, therefore, preference for sequential setup, requirement for 1st-order derivatives only |
HM-FR | Hydrological Modeling (Flow Routing) with various variable-parameter routing schemes | Hydrological flow routing as component in distributed hydrological models with variational data assimilation, flow routing between and downstream of reservoirs | Optimization variables << model states, therefore, preference for a sequential setup, but also need for collocated setup between reservoirs, 2nd-order derivatives required for collocated setup |
RS | Reservoir System with multi-purpose reservoirs | Short-term optimization of the reservoir systems considering multiple objectives such as flood mitigation, hydropower generation, etc. | Optimization variables in the order of the model states, preference for collocated setup and 2nd-order derivatives, optional extension to hybrid systems and stochastic optimization, simple upstream to downstream routing |
CS-CON | Canal System with Continuously Operated Structure(s) | Short-term optimization of a low-land water system as operated by Dutch water boards, relevant objectives include flood mitigation and cost-aware drainage | Comparable to case RS, but with more sophisticated flow processes (hydraulic routing), pumps instead of turbines, tidal boundaries, option for stochastic optimization |
CS-DIS | Canal System with Barrier (Open / Closed) | According to CS-CON, but with discontinuous decisions, logical conditions etc. | According to CS-CON, but with dedicated mixed-integer optimization algorithms, option for stochastic optimization |
CS-LES | Canal System with Lateral Extraction requests under Shortage conditions | Multi-objective water allocation | Priority based allocation using deterministic goal programming optimization algorithm, option for weighting factor based LP approach or hybrid approach |
EV | Evacuation Measure Based on Uncertain Forecasts | Decision if and when an authority should initiate an evacuation measure | Application beyond the water system to address the impact of a forecast and its uncertainty on decision making |
