Flood control reservoir systems are designed to reduce the intensity of flooding in flood plains to acceptable levels. Planning flood control reservoir systems requires analysis of basin-wide hydrology, individual reservoir and system operation, and system performance in reducing intensity of flooding. Sizing reservoir systems (system formulation) includes the major tasks of selecting system components from among competing alternatives and determining the flood control storage within each reservoir. Selection of system components (configuring the system) is the key element in the analysis. This paper focuses upon reservoirs as flood control measures, but it should be emphasized that non-reservoir measures, such as levees and channel work can form invaluable system components. Analysis of the performance of alternative flood control systems is greatly complicated by the system interaction that can occur among system components. One of the important interactions in a system occurs when a number of reservoirs are being operated for common locations and are thus able to take advantage of inflow and release timing effects. Because of the large number of alternative systems possible in complex river basins and due to the complexity of evaluating each system, it is essential that a reasonably structured system formulation strategy be adopted as the framework for analysis.

The Corps' Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has developed a generalized simulation model capable of analyzing complex river-reservoir systems. The development of the model, 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' (Eichert, 1974, 1975) has been paced by the changing mission of the Corps as well as the evolution of computer systems. HEC-5 development and management, including code development, testing, documentation, training and field application experience, is discussed. (fr).

This paper overviews the general features of computer program 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems', with emphasis on the capabilities of the most recent release of HEC-5, Version 7.2, dated March 1991. HEC-5 can simulate the essential features and operation goals and constraints of simple or complex systems with simulation intervals ranging from minutes to one month. Single event flood analysis and period of record conservation analysis may be accomplished with the model. Flood control analysis includes balanced system operation for downstream damage centers with consideration of forecasted local flows and hydrologic routing. In addition, induced surcharge operation based on spillway gate regulation schedules can be simulated. Hydropower analysis may include run-of-river, peaking, and pumped storage plants as well as system power operation. Water supply simulation can include reservoir and downstream flow requirements in addition to divers ions and return flows. Water Quality analysis can include simulation of temperature, dissolved oxygen, up to three conservative and up to three nonconservative constituents.
