摘要
the carraip赤a-paraguach車n river basin is an area between the venezuelan and colombian borders, a zone of great economic importance for both countries. this area is characterized by climatic conditions that produce negative effects such as flooding during part of the year as well as droughts in others. in this scenario, the author proposes diverse measures to obtain greater water resources and achieve its conservation. within these objectives is the determination of the optimum operational characteristics in assigning water resources to a reservoir for the two countries. to achieve this objective, the proposed methodology makes reference to using a dynamic optimization model (applying optimum control theory) that can be employed to identify management plans that better adjust to societyˋs objectives.
