In spite of the large number of optimization techniques reported in the literature, traditional operation models are still in wide use for reservoir planning and management studies. Optimal operation of reservoir systems, however, requires computer optimization modeling tools to provide information for their rational operating decisions. Recent improvements in high‐speed computers and the Internet encourage researchers and practitioners to become familiar with and use of modern techniques and tools more frequently. In this article, a web‐based application (WBA) was developed for reservoir operation using an optimization approach. This article presents and tests a set of operational objectives to optimally operate a single reservoir using a web‐based platform. All practitioners and students can use this free WBA to share their data, findings, and models while simultaneously solving their reservoir operation problems. Practical use of the WBA is illustrated by developing and running a model based on real‐world reservoir data.
