Aquaplan project

This study analyzes the impacts of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (Turkey) on the hydrological regime of the Euphrates river. To achieve this, three development scenarios are constructed and water allocations policies are then optimized for each reservoir using stochastic dual dynamic programming.
Simulation results using 50 hydrologic scenarios show that the complete development of the irrigation projects in Turkey would reduce the total energy output by 6.5% and will increase the risk of not meeting minimum outflow at the Syrian border from 5% to 25%.
