As mention above, the author used MIKE 11 model to simulate the release after
optimal operation from Cua Dat Reservoir and the results illustrated that the minimum
daily discharge at the Bai Thuong weir is around 35 (m3/s) and the Xuan Khanh station
is appropriate 36 (m3/s). The minimum daily discharge of the optimal operation is
higher than minimum daily discharge of requirement and actual release.
Finally, those showed that the optimal operation of the Cua Dat Reservoir using
Fuzzy Logic approach determined efficient release and satisfied the water demands in
downstream area. The optimal operation would decrease water stress and conflicts in
dry season.

each level depend on knowledge of 
expert. If number of membership function for inputs and output increases, the number 
of rules in fuzzy rules base will also increases as well as the error decreases. Regarding 
to analysis of observed and calculated data of inputs and output (appendix 3), the 
author determined the ranges of each variable and divided into distinct levels. 
 With reservoir water level has ranges that varied from 70m to 115 m. It was 
classified into 7 levels (figure4-16) including ‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘low-medium’, 
‘medium’, ‘medium-high’, ‘high’ and ‘very high’. The inflow into the reservoir as 
‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’ and ‘very high’ are in range of [0-145] Mi.m3.

In the same way, the demand is divided into class intervals as ‘very low’, ‘low’, 
‘meium’, ‘high’ and ‘very high’ in range of [0 -145] M.m3. Finally, the release is 
divided into 8 class intervals (figure 4-18) as ‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘medium-low’, 
‘medium’, ‘medium-high’, ‘high’ and ‘Very.very.high’.

IV.2.3.2. Formulation of the Fuzzy rule base 
 In a Fuzzy system, fuzzy rules base was built due to ‘IF-THEN” principle. The 
fuzzy rule set usually is formulated based on knowledge and experience of expert. 
 60 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
Besides this, the fuzzy rule base also based on the actual observed operation of the 
reservoir. According to the collected data and different categories of each input/output 
variable in dry season and using Fuzzy Mamdani method, the Fuzzy rules have been 
identified as below: 
IF (RESERVOIR WATER LEVEL IS LOW) AND (INFLOW IS LOW) AND 
(WATER DEMAND IS LOW) THEN (RELEASE IS VERY LOW) 
There are 157 fuzzy rules were defined in Fuzzy system of the Cua Dat reservoir 
regarding to 03 input variables as reservoir water level, inflow and water demand and 
01 output variable as release (Appendix 5). The fuzzy output of release is also in a 
fuzzy set to achieve the crisp value which is needed a process of “defuzzification” 
method. The figure 4-20 presents the fuzzy rules base for operation of the Cua Dat 
reservoir. 
Figure 4-20: Fuzzy rules base for operation of Cua Dat reservoir 
IV.2.3.3. Application, Implication, Aggregation and Defuzzification 
 Application, implication, aggregation and defuzzification are main parts to 
calculate fuzzy output and determine crisp value for each rule is known in a fuzzy 
system. Application is a process that it uses fuzzy operators such as AND or Or to 
 61 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
obtain value for presenting the result for one rule. Panigrahi and Mujumdar (2000) 
have discussed the fuzzy logic operators obey the classical two valued logic. The AND 
opertator can be conjunction of the classical logic or it can be the product of the two 
parameters involved in it. 
 Implication is a process after application above. Application process uses fuzzy 
operators to calculate a value due to inputs of fuzzy system then Implication process 
will apply the value into membership function of outputs in order to obtain a fuzzy set 
for each rule. Especially, in implication process is input of it is a number value but the 
result is a fuzzy set. For each rule always implement an implication method. 
 Aggregation is next step after implication step. Aggregation integrates the 
outputs which are results of implication method. The inputs of aggregation are fuzzy 
set and result of aggregation process is also a fuzzy set for each output variable. The 
figure 4-21 presents process of application, implication and aggregation. This figure 
was found in Panigrahi and Mujumdar (2000). 
Figure 4-21: Process of application, implication and aggregation 
 The result is optimized from fuzzy system through the processes such as 
application, implication and aggregation is a fuzzy set. So that we need a 
defuzzification method in order to achieve a crisp value or crisp number. The 
defuzzification method is integrated ready in Fuzzy Tool Box of MATLAB software

including: Centroid; Bisection; Largest of Maximum; Smallest of Maximum, Middle of 
Maximum. Panigrahi and Mujumdar (2000) have shown that one of most common 
defuzzification method is “Centroid” evaluation. In this thesis, the Centroid method 
will be used for defuzzification. 
The equation of this method as following: 
𝐺 =
∑ 𝑦𝑖 𝑚𝐵(𝑦𝑖)𝑛𝑖=1
∑ 𝑚𝐵(𝑦𝑖)𝑛𝑖=1

Where: G is the centroid of the truncated fuzzy output set B 
 mB(yi) is the membership value of the element yi in the fuzzy out put set B, 
 n is the number of elements 
IV.3. Hydraulic and hydrological model setup 
 In this part the author is going to set up a hydraulic model and a hydrological 
model for the Ma – Chu river basin. The MIKE 11 HD and MIKE NAM models will 
be used as an efficient way as mentioned in the literature review of the thesis. These 
models were used to simulate the release from the reservoir to the river in downstream 
area as well as the flow at some of control points after routing that to be evaluated 
effective optimization. 
 MIKE NAM is a hydrological model and MIKE 11HD is a hydraulic model, 
the combination between 02 models through calibration and validation process to 
determine optimal basin parameters. The detailed contents are presented in following 
steps. 
IV.3.1. Determination of the model inputs 
 As presented above, the author used two models including the MIKE NAM and 
MIKE 11HD model. Each model will need different data as inputs. The inputs of the 
MIKE NAM hydrological model include rainfall, evaporation and discharge. The 
inputs of MIKE 11HD include discharge and water level at the stations (appendix 4). 
 To build up hydrological model, the author collected rainfall data from the 
meteorological and point stations of two years of 2006 and 2008 of Cua Dat, Bai 
Thuong, Cam Thuy, Song Am, Thuong Xuan, Sam Son, Giang stations to simulate 
NAM model for Cua Dat catchment. Similarly, discharge data of the Cua Dat station 
was collected to calibrate and validate the basin parameters. 
 63 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
 The hydraulic model has the boundary conditions such as upstream boundaries, 
downstream boundaries and topographic data as cross sections. The choice of boundary 
conditions depends on the physical situation and data available on the basin. In this 
study, the author selected the following stations and data itself as boundary conditions. 
 The upstream boundary is time series of observed discharge at the hydrological 
stations as Cua Dat (Chu Rver), Cam Thuy (Ma River), Kim Tan (Buoi River) and Tu 
Thon (Bao Van River) stations. Downstream boundary is time series of observed water 
level at some of stations in the river mouth as Hoang Tan, Lach Truong and Lach Sung 
stations. The time period for calibration and validation of model is in 02 years (2006 
and 2008). After data collection for those models the author implemented set up model 
network as below: 
IV.3.2. Model setup 
 In this part, the author implemented set up hydraulic schematization with the 
boundary conditions for the Ma – Chu river basin. According to topography data and 
hydrological data and hydraulic regime of river network, the hydraulic network of the 
river basin was chosen as following: 
+ Ma River: starting from Cam Thuy station to the estuary (Cua Hoi estuary) 
+ Chu River: starting from Cua Dat station to conjunction point of the Ma River (Giang 
confluence) 
+ Buoi River: starting from Thach Lam station to conjunction point of the Ma River 
(Vinh Khanh confluence) 
+ Cau River: Starting from Cau Chay station to conjunction point of the Ma River at 
Cam Truong confluence. 
+ Len River: from Bong confluence to Lach Sung Estuary 
+ De Chanel: from separate branch of Len River to conjunction point of Lach Truong 
River. 
+ Lach Truong River: from Tuan confluence to Lach Truong estuary. 
The boundary conditions of this model were distributed: 
- Upstream boundary: is time series of daily observed discharge from upstream 
stations: 
+ Cam Thuy station is located on the Ma River 
 64 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
+ Cua Dat station is located on the Chu River 
+ Kim Tan station is located on the Buoi River 
+ Thu Thon station is located on the Bao Van River 
- Downstream boundary: is time series of daily observed water level from 
downstream stations: 
+ Hoang Tan station is located in the Estuary 
+ Lach Truong station is located in estuary of Tao Khe River. 
+ Thach Sung is located on Len River. 
- Tributary boundary: flow which occurs from tributary basin is identified 
through MIKE NAM model. List of tributary basins are in below table: 
Table 4-13: List of tributary basins on the Ma – Chu river basin

Am River Am river basin area 817.5 
Dat river Dat river basin area 304 
Dang River Dang river basin area 344.7 
Cau Chay River Cau Chay river basin area 118 
- Control stations: is used to evaluate the efficiency of the model including the 
station as following. Those stations are water level stations: 
+ Ly Nhan station is located on the Ma River 
+ Giang station is located on the Ma river) 
+ Xuan Khanh station is located on the Chu River 
 The hydraulic network of Ma-Chu river basin is presented in the below figure:

IV.3.3. Model calibration and validation 
 This process aims are to obtain the optimal parameters for NAM model and 
MIKE 11HD model respectively. To evaluate the efficiency of model using observed 
data at some control stations are compared to simulated data from the model. To access 
performance of the models the author used Nash- Sutcliffe coefficient (NASH). NASH 
has been commonly used in hydrological models to evaluate flow hydrographs. The 
NASH is an improvement over the coefficient of determination for stream flow 
comparison, because it accounts for model errors in estimating the mean of the 
observed datasets. It enables the efficiency of the model to be compared with the initial 
variance that is defined by the observed datasets. The observed and simulated 
discharge values have been compared to assess the predictive accuracy of the model. 
NASH ranges from −∞ to 1. When the values are from 0.9 to 1 indicate that model 
performance is perfect. When the values are from 0.8 to 0.9 and 0.6-0.8, the model 
performances are good and acceptable, respectively. It is defined as following:

Moreover, it is possible to use other indexes or coefficients to access the results of 
model such as: Correlation Coefficient; Peak Error; Volume Error and Peak time Error 
etc. The results for both models will be presented in following contents. 
IV.3.3.1. NAM model calibration and validation 
A- Calibration for NAM model of the Ma –Chu river basin: Calibration is 
one of main steps in modeling. Trial and error method was used to stimulate NAM 
Model for the Cua Dat Catchment. It was carried out by selecting a possible 
parameters, applies it to the model and, if it is not successful, selects another possibility 
that is subsequently tried. The process ends when a possibility yields a goodness of fit 
between simulated and observed data. The Cua Dat Reservoir is upstream part of Ma-
Chu River Basin. Its area covers 5.708 square kilometers. 
To calibrate the hydrological model of the Cua Dat catchment on the Chu River, 
the author used daily rainfall of the Cua Dat station and surrounding stations in year of 
2006. Average daily evaporation at Thanh Hoa station was also used for the same 
period. The observed discharge which was collected from the Cua Dat station was used 
to access the performances of the model. The simulated performance for calibration 
process is as the Figure 4-23. 
 67 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
Figure 4-23: Observed and simulated hydrograph at Cua Dat station in 2006 
 Based on two hydrographs on the above figure, it can be seen that the difference 
between them is not quite high. The simulated result is still higher than observed result. 
Those caused by number of rainfall stations on the basin is rather limited, it do not 
cover the whole basin. However, the shapes of them are quite similar with each other 
and NASH is 0.69 at the station indicates an acceptable value. With this result, it is 
possible to validate the model in next step as below. 
B- Validation for NAM model of Ma –Chu river basin: Model validation is 
one of the important steps in modeling to achieve confident model. The model used 
only the parameters which were obtained in previous step to simulate runoff from 
rainfall. Year of 2008 was used for model validation with the same data and stations in 
calibration step. The simulated performance for validation process is as figure 4-24. 
 68 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
Figure 4-24: Observed and simulated hydrograph at Cua Dat station in 2008 
For the validation period, the above figure indicates that between observed and 
simulated hydrograph have a good fit and similar pattern. NASH = 0.73 was acceptable 
value and indicated well validated model. Therefore, developed NAM model could be 
confidently used for the purpose of this study. 
After calibration and validation of NAM model, a set of NAM parameters are 
determined and they would apply to the Ma-Chu river basin to reveal the flows of 
rivers in basin. The objective of application of NAM model was to simulate runoff 
from available rainfall data for Ma - Chu River and its branches. However, due to lack 
of sufficient discharge data, the application of direct calibration of a rainfall-runoff 
model for each sub-basin is impossible. So it were needed to borrow model parameters 
from the Cua Dat catchment is to apply for other sub-basins to recovery runoff. The 
tributary basins were simulated runoff presented in the Table 4-13. 
IV.3.3.2. MIKE 11HD model calibration and validation 
 In this part, in order to determine the optimal parameter for hydraulic model, the 
author used manual method to simulate the flow from upstream station. To do that the 
hydrological data was collected for year of 2006 and 2008 respectively. Insides that, 
the period of model calibration was chosen in 2006 and year of 2008 was used for 
model validation. The performance evaluation of model could be measured by NASH 
coefficient as efficient way.

Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
A- Calibration for MIKE 11HD model 
 For calibration period, the calibration is implemented by changing roughness 
along the river and cross section, time step, etc. The calculated process will be stopped 
if the difference between calculated and observed data is less than certain value for 
every point. The results for calibration are presented in some figures below: 
Figure 4-25: Observed and simulated water level at Ly Nhan Station in 2006

 70 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
Figure 4-27: Observed and simulated water level at Giang Station in 2006 
 Through the results which were showed in the above figures, it is possible to see 
that having a good fit between observed and simulated data about pattern and peak 
value for the most of the stations. NASH for stations varied from 0.87 to 0.92, the 
difference of two peaks is rather low. Therefore, the author also used the Peak Error 
and Volume Error to evaluate the results (Table 4-14) 
Table 4-14: Results of MIKE 11HD model calibration 
at the Ma-Chu river basin in 2006 
Name of station NASH Peak Error Volume Error 
Ly Nhan 0.97 1.92% 0.33% 
Giang 0.89 4.90% 9.50% 
Xuan Khanh 0.88 3.98% 6.07% 
So that with results of model calibration, the author basically determined the 
hydraulic parameter (roughness) for whole river basin, Manning coefficient vary from 
0.025 to 0.045 from upstream to downstream area. To evaluate the confidence of the 
model the author implemented next step for Validation. 
B- Validation for MIKE 11HD model 
 The results for model validation are presented in some figures below. For the 
validation period, it can be seen that there is a good fit between observed and simulated

data about pattern and peak value for most of the stations. NASH for stations varied 
from 0.83 to 0.94, the difference of two peaks is rather low.

Giang 0.91 8.25% 6.44% 
Xuan Khanh 0.84 4.07% 11.88% 
According to the Table 4-15 and Figure 4-28 to 4-30, it can be seen that 
observed water level is higher than simulated water level at the beginning of the 
hydrograph at Xuan Khanh station. However, this difference is still in the limited 
range. With the highest results, developed MIKE 11HD model could be confidently 
used for the purpose of this study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 
V.1. Optimizing the Cua Dat reservoir operation 
 As presented above, the author sets up a Fuzzy system for operation of the Cua 
Dat Reservoir (Figure 4-31). The Fuzzy system includes 03 input variables as 03 input 
variables such as reservoir water level, inflow and water demand and 01 output 
variable as release. Beside that, the Fuzzy system also includes a fuzzy rules base with 
157 rules. 
Figure 4-31: Structure of fuzzy system for the Cua Dat reservoir 
 Through setting Fuzzy system on the Cua Dat Reservoir, the author defined the 
graph of optimal release in dry season in 2011 – 2012. The optimal release graph in the 
Figure 4-32 presents optimal release that can meet water demand more than actual 
release. Especially, in the driest period in year when water demand increased 
significantly but the reservoir operated effectively to ensure this demand, while the 
actual release was lower significantly and did not supply enough water. To evaluate the 
quantification of effect of fuzzy release in the condition of shortage of water in the dry 
season, the author used the Nash- Sutcliffe coefficient (NASH) in whole water supply 
period in dry season. 
 The results are shown that it developed for Fuzzy operating systems for the Cua 
Dat Reservoir and determine the optimal discharge process in the condition of shortage 
 74

of water in the dry season, and reservoir can still meet appropriate 80% of water 
demand throughout the dry season from 2011 to 2012. Actual release was determined 
through observed data of the reservoir was only to supply about 73% of actual demand.

Optimal operation of the Cua Dat Reservoir using Fuzzy Logic approach 
determined efficient release and satisfied the water demands in downstream area more 
than the actual release as well as optimal operation would decrease water stress and 
conflicts in dry season.

V.2. Routing the release to the downstream 
 The flow in dry season of year of 2011-2012 after the optimal operation of Cua 
Dat Reservoir is to rout to the downstream by MIKE 11 hydraulic model.

 According to the results above, it can be seen that the minimum daily discharge 
at the Bai Thuong weir is around 35 (m3/s) and the Xuan Khanh station is appropriate 
36 (m3/s). The table 5-1 makes a comparison between the minimum daily discharges of 
the optimal operation and minimum daily discharge of requirement in the downstream 
area, Hence, the minimum daily discharges of the optimal operation is higher than 
minimum discharge of requirement and discharge of actual release. This showed that 
the optimal operation of the Cua Dat Reservoir using Fuzzy Logic approach 
determined efficient release and satisfied the minimum water demands in downstream 
area.

CHAPTER VI 
 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 
VI.1. Conclusions 
 The study investigated optimal reservoir operation using Fuzzy Logic algorithm 
for the Cua Dat Reservoir, which is located in Thanh Hoa province, middle of 
Vietnam. To apply Fuzzy Logic in this study, the author used the Fuzzy Tool Box of 
MATLAB software to optimize the release from the reservoir and it also simulated to 
downstream river by using MIKE 11 hydraulic model. 
 In order to have an accuracy and reliable model for the purposes of this study, 
Fuzzy Logic algorithm is used with the information as existing rule curve of this 
reservoir, inflow into the reservoir, water level of the reservoir, observation discharge 
of hydropower plant. The observed data was recorded during the operation of the Cua 
Dat reservoir having short period because this reservoir has just operated since 2010. 
Moreover, water demand for water users in the downstream were also one of the 
important input variables for Fuzzy system, this variable was determined according to 
data related to water users such as Agriculture, Industry, Domestic, Hydropower, and 
Environment. The author determined that total water demand is about 4547 Mi.m3. 
 From the results which are optimized from the Fuzzy operating systems for the 
Cua Dat Reservoir, the optimal discharge process was determined in the condition of 
shortage of water in the dry season, and reservoir can still meet 80% of water demand 
throughout the dry season from 2011 to 2012. While that, actual release was 
determined through observed data of the reservoir was only to supply about 73% of 
actual demand. 
To evaluate the efficiency of the optimal operation in the downstream river, the 
author has used two models including MIKE NAM and MIKE 11HD as an efficient 
way as mentioned in the literature review of the thesis. For model calibration and 
validation process, the hydrological and meteorological data was collected such as 
rainfall, evaporation and discharge from the stations on Ma- Chu river system in 2006 
and 2008. To access performance of the models, the Nash- Sutcliffe coefficient 
(NASH) was used. For calibration period of NAM model, the NASH is 0.69 at the 
station indicated an acceptable value. For the validation period of NAM model, the 
 78 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
result indicated that between observed and simulated hydrograph have a good fit and 
similar pattern. NASH = 0.73 was acceptable value and indicated well validated model. 
Similarly, within MIKE 11 HD model calibration and validation. The results of model 
calibration at Ly Nhan, Xuan Khanh and Giang stations showed that having a good fit 
between observed and simulated data about pattern and peak value for the most of the 
stations. The NASH for stations varied from 0.87 to 0.92, the difference of two peaks is 
rather low. The results for model validation of MIKE 11 HD, the NASH for the same 
stations varied from 0.83 to 0.94, so that within the highest results, developed MIKE 
11HD model could be confidently used for the purpose of this study. 
As mention above, the author used MIKE 11 model to simulate the release after 
optimal operation from Cua Dat Reservoir and the results illustrated that the minimum 
daily discharge at the Bai Thuong weir is around 35 (m3/s) and the Xuan Khanh station 
is appropriate 36 (m3/s). The minimum daily discharge of the optimal operation is 
higher than minimum daily discharge of requirement and actual release. 
Finally, those showed that the optimal operation of the Cua Dat Reservoir using 
Fuzzy Logic approach determined efficient release and satisfied the water demands in 
downstream area. The optimal operation would decrease water stress and conflicts in 
dry season. 
VI.2. Recommendations 
During the process of this thesis, the author has some following 
recommendations and suggestions for the future possible studies: It is very necessary to 
collect observed data during the operation of the Cua Dat Reservoir. Because the inputs 
for Fuzzy system need a long time period to calculate and design a system exactly. 
To determine exactly the water demand for agriculture sector using CROPWAT 
model need to collect many information of different crop plants in cultivated area. 
Therefore, the information relevant to water use of domestic is also necessary to 
determine water demand of system. 
One of limitations of this study, the author only used triangular membership 
function for the inputs and outputs of Fuzzy system. Moreover, using other data as 
rainfall, reservoir storage should pay attention as inputs of the Fuzzy system of Cua 
Dat Reservoir. The fuzzy rules in this study were defined by opinion of the author, 
 79 
Trinh Xuan Manh 
MSc Thesis 
however, it is strongly recommended that the fuzzy rules should derive from a program 
or software in order to increase the efficiency of the system. 
In future, it is necessary to set up more hydrological and meteorological stations 
on Ma-Chu river basin to measure discharge, water level and meteorological factors; 
Modeling future events should attend to the dynamic changing of factors driving the 
changing of hydrological and hydraulic scheme of the river basin. 
For next study, the author really wants to apply the Fuzzy Logic algorithm on 
operation of a reservoir system to optimize operation of them and address all issues 
relevant to the river basin which has many reservoirs located in.
