SUMMARY:

Water is a limiting resource for the economic development and survival of the population, presenting a high spatial and temporal hydrological variability, which together with other climatic factors causes water imbalance. This water scarcity, observed in some regions, generates conflicts between multiple water users. The construction of reservoirs that regulate flow rates and that provide for fulfillment demands for a longer period of time is a solution widely used by Brazilian states and in many locations around the world. These water structures have a central position in the development of a systemic management of water resources. For good operation of these reservoir, operating rules are applied, in order to optimize the service to users and minimize conflicts over the use of water. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the gain with the implementation of water structures and management measures in meeting water demands. The study will be carried out in the Piancó-Piranhas-Açu river basin, in the Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves, Dourado and Marechal Dutra reservoirs, located in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, and will involve the simulation-optimization of the operation of the reservoirs in an isolated way integrated. The simulations will be carried out by the water balance method and will use genetic algorithm in the optimization of objective function in seven scenarios. Thus, it is expected that the proposed simulations present the past and future gains that we can have with the implementation of water infrastructure, construction of reservoirs and pipelines and integrated management of reservoirs.
