Summary:The authors are concerned with the optimal scheduling of water releases from retention reservoirs during flood, with the objective of minimizing flood damages at the important damage centers downstream of the reservoirs. Unlike in most other papers devoted to this subject, the flood routing equations are nonlinear. The performance index of the problem leads to a minimax optimal control problem. For this problem, the necessary optimality conditions are provided and a version of the feasible directions method is proposed.
