Optimization over a climate ensemble #10
Comments
Can you move start putting any new issues like this on the awash repo?

Here is an update on this issue following today's discussion. Our objective is to find the optimal decisions (e.g. water allocation and agricultural choices) under uncertain conditions (e.g. climatic and socio-economic) that are described by a set of n_s scenarios. Prof. Lall suggested today that we instead focus on the median solution. The optimization is run for each individual scenario, and the median cost solution is identified as the optimal solution. The constraints matrix is thus much smaller, we simply need to repeat the exercise n_s times (overall complexity of O(n_s)), and the parallelization is straightforward. The reduction in computational cost is not the only interest. By systematically solving the optimization problem for each considered scenario, we obtain the full distribution and can identify any quantile. While we do not give up on obtaining the mean solution, we will privilege the second approach for now. As it is already the object of a branch in awash here, I suggest that we open a new issue there and close this one. |

Given an uncertain climate described by an ensemble of predictions of precipitation, run-off and recharge, we would like to obtain the optimal management of the water resources for a given objective.
Namely, at each time step, we want to know the reservoirs releases, the water abstracted at each points of the water network and from each aquifers for each county, and decide them independently from what the climate is going to be.
This requires a bit of work:
