Abstract: As global water demand intensifies due to population growth, industrialization, and urbanization, effective management of water resources becomes increasingly crucial. Reservoirs play a key role in addressing human needs such as water supply, power generation, and flood control. However, the traditional approach to reservoir dispatch optimization often neglects the ecological consequences of water allocation, leading to detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems. This research explores the integration of ecological flow requirements into reservoir dispatch optimization, aiming to achieve a balance between human and environmental needs. Ecological flow, which refers to the water flow necessary to maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems, is essential for the preservation of biodiversity, habitat quality, and overall ecosystem health. This paper discusses the challenges and methods for incorporating ecological flow into reservoir dispatch models, as well as the various optimization techniques used to address these challenges. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of balancing ecological sustainability with human resource needs and highlight the potential of optimization algorithms to effectively address this dual challenge.
