Decision-support tool for reservoir operation in Huế City, Vietnam
Solutions Brief
The ‘Solutions’ series shares practical and replicable local knowledge through our work across Vietnam on how to build resilience to climate hazards.
Summary
ISET-International (ISET) collaborated with the Huế City Division of Water Resources and Climate change (DRM office) to develop a real-time Reservoir Operation Support Tool for the Huong River basin’s inter-reservoir system. This tool was built on practical operational experience in recent years and allows operators to simulate multi-reservoir operation scenarios under different rainfall and inflow conditions using continuously updated hydrometeorological data, reservoir parameters, and river information. It translates complex data into clear, actionable insights, supporting timely, coordinated and risk-informed interreservoir operation decisions. Ultimately, the tool strengthens strategic reservoir operation, improves timeliness of community early warning, and enhances overall flood risk management and response for Huế City.
