A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING OPERATING RULES OF MULTIPURPOSE RESERVOIRS ALLOWING FOR BOTH EXTREME FLOODS AND ECOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 4 th International Symposion on Flood Defence 2008 Toronto, Canada ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: WATER SUPPLY We use the water supply capacity with future deficit probability of 1 % of status quo as target. ECOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: Maintain as much as possible of the natural flow variability. The hydrologic alteration is calculated using the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) method (Richter et al. 1997). The IHA method uses 32 biologically relevant hydrologic attributes based upon five fundamental characteristics of hydrologic regimes: magnitude, timing, frequency, duration and rate of change.
