Abstract: A review of current used water resources optimal operation models is given. It is pointed out that there are many problems exist in this topic pending for solving, such as poor commonality, low software level and inability to support operation and deployment simultaneously. A new model namely WROOM (Water Resources Optimal Operation Model) has been proposed. The theories of the model, including the generalization of water resources system network, model structure, objective function as well as the statistics results, are introduced in detail. Furthermore, the software model for developing the WROOM is also introduced including its software structure and model solver etc.

Key words: water resources optimal operation, operation, optimization, water resource
