Use of systems analysis techniques for setting up flow regulation rules for the Oswego River System, a canal‐river system with eight lakes, was examined. Two sets of lake regulation rules were proposed: the rule curve for each lake, and the lake‐use priority curves for all the lakes. The former specifies balanced allocation of the storage in lakes to conservation pools and flood control pools and, the latter determines lakes releases depending upon the type of operation, the time of the year, and systems objectives. A generalized mathematical representation of the complex, multipurpose, multilake river systems operation is described. With appropriate measures of effectiveness and details of analysis, the problem was then solved with simulation and optimization. Use of the results in assisting basin plan formulation is also discussed.
