Abstract: Dams are constructed across the rivers to create an artificial reservoir behind it. The main -Function of reservoir is to regulate flood or to regulate the varing supply of natural stream to satisfy varying demands depending on its -purposes and the main characteristics is to store water during high flows by controlled outflow and release water during low flows. A reservoir operation plan attempts to achieve the optimum benefits from the available storage capacity. A number of - system engineering techniques are available for solving various problems associated with reservoir operation,simu1ation is one of the techniques which is widely used for reservoir operation Simulation is the process which duplicates the essence of the system or activity without actually attaining reality itself. In the -simulation the essence characteristics of the system are reproduced in a model which is then studied in abbreviated time scale. Hence it is experimental problem solving technique used to study complex system that are mathematically intractable_The base of the simulation model is the creation of conceptual model which represents to some degree the various elements of the system existing in real world In this study attempt has been made to formulate the operation policies for Mula Project, ensuring targetted irrigation (minimum 75`/. dependable) and domestic and industrial water stupply (100% dependable) by developing rule curve with the help of simulation technique. iv Mula Project is a multipurpose project across river Mula, tributary of Pravara and sub-tributary of Godavari. The project provides water supply to Ahmednagar city, industries, villages, sugar factories,Agricultural University and Irrigation to 80,810 ha area of, Ahmednagar district, of Maharashtra state. storage capacity of the reservoir is 736.32 M.Cum & catchment area is 2274 sq.km. Rainfall is very erratic and mean annual rainfall varies from 51 cm in lower catchment to 508 cm in Ghat area (Upper Catchment). Due to erratic rainfall the reservoir operation plays very important role during dry year, because domestic and-industrial water supply is solely dependent on Mula reservoir. With the help of simulation technique the rule curve has been developed which forms the lower limit, for water withdrawal for particular time. In this study the computerised model of the system has been developed and various strategies for the reservoir operation are evaluated. It is verified whether the various demands can be satisfied with present available water by operating reservoir with conventional method and with rule curve. The effect on all demands is also assessed if Municipal demand of Ahmednagar city is doubled. (near future) As such the provisions of various annual targets supplies seem to be a higher side, with the help of rule curve reservoir operation, the above targets can be met ou-t with V satisfaction.
