Comparison study of recommended empirical prediction methods for reservoir water temperature in specification
Empirical prediction methods for reservoir water temperature are usually used in environmental evaluation of hydropower projects. The recommended prediction methods based on experience for reservoir water temperature according to Chinese hydroelectric specifications, the Dongkanyuan method, Zhu Bo-fang method, and statistical method, were compared, and the errors of their calculation results were analyzed based on monitoring data from several reservoirs. The conclusions can provide a reference for relevant departments.
