Summary: Planning of exploitation of water from reservoirs is a
complex problem which requires extensive knowledge and analysis. This work
can be time consuming and problematic if appropriate tools and softwares
are not used. Developing microcomputers software for reservoir design and
analyses users can run many alterantives analyses in a manner of minutes
especially if software is integrated by reservoir and input data
generation. It is especially valid for spreadsheet based methods in
designing of reservoirs and rain harvesting system becouse programs can be
used by persons without extensive experiance in programming and modeling.
The automatic recalculating feature of spreadsheet can be exploited to
visualize the effect of changing the parameters involved in the
calculations. This is especially useful for educational purposes. In the
project several programs was developed for run on microcomputers. Programs
are useful for the educational purposes and for engineering work.
Keywords: reservoirs, water resources management, simulation, optimalization, system engineering, coastal area, spreadsheet
Research goals: Goal of the study is improvement of management,
exploitation and protection of water resources. Objectives are development
of appropriate toopls for design and analyses of reservoires as most
important element of water resources management in the areas lakig the
water, such us islands. Thus, it would be possible to carry out a sound
and efficient management of both water resources and other natural
resources which can ensure successful development.
