6.6.5 Sharing Low-Flow Forecasts with Reservoir
Management Interested Parties
One of the aims of the DROP project in the Arzal dam site is the development of a
tool for forecasting low flows and enhancing water management at the reservoir.
Sharing information is essential to ensure that the management of the reservoir
meets the standards of openness and transparency. It can also engage early cooperation within actors and postpone water shortage situations. Furthermore,
numerical tools can help to corroborate decisions or to provide evidence of risks
that may not have been foreseen, contributing to scientific arguments to address
potential conflicts among stakeholders. As such, the implementation of a reservoir
inflow forecasting and risk visualization tool may provide more flexibility to water
management at the level of the Arzal dam.
