Abstract

The major task of multi-purpose reservoir „Modrac“ operation is to decide how much water should be
released now and how much should be retained for future use given some available and/or forecasted
information at the beginning of the current time period. In practice, reservoir operators usually follow
rule curves, which stipulate the actions that should be taken conditioned on the current state of the
system. Through construction of the dam Modrac in 1964, the reservoir of the same name was formed.
Its primary objectives were the provision of technological water for industries in the Tuzla region and
mitigation of downstream floods as well as recreation and other purposes. The multi-purpose reservoir
Modrac is currently a drinking water source for the municipality Tuzla. In order to better manage of the
multi-purpose reservoir „Modrac“, certain analyzes are presented in this paper.
This paper presents an analysis of annual precipitation, mean annual inflows in the catchment area of
the multi-purpose reservoir „Modrac“ for the period 1967 - 2016. In this paper there are presented
statistical datas on the maximum amount of precipitation for the dry season period (May to October) for
different return periods, for different distribution curves, as well as the maximum amount of
precipitation for the wet season (November to April) for different return periods for different curves
distribution.
This paper provides information on the movement of precipitation changes in the catchment area of
multi-purpose reservoir “Modrac” for the period from 1967. – 2016.
