Online strategy for scheduling a reservoir for sudden water pollution in downstream channel

This paper explores the scheduling problem of reservoir during the sudden water pollution happened in downstream channel when the pollution source duration is hard to predicted. Specifically, how to regulate the water release during the pollution accident to decreases the total loss from the event will be elaborated in present work. In response to this objective, online algorithm will be applied here to further analysis optimal strategy, which manages the reservoir scheduling in terms of online strategy and competitive analysis. Then the evidences from a real reservoir are collected to test the competitive ratio of online strategy. The result and model of the study in this paper have guiding significance and reference value to decision makers facing the similar situation.
