ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is deep-rooted in the Islamic traditions and conducts that the "one who does not express thanks
to people, cannot be grateful to Allah (The Lord)". Therefore, after praising and thanking Allah,
Glorified and Exalted is He, I would like to use this little space to express my gratitude to the
people without their support, this work would have not been realized.
First, I would like to thank Prof. Dr.-Ing. Manfred Ostrowski, my research supervisor, for his
continuous technical support throughout my Ph.D. study. I appreciate the time and effort that he
has devoted to me. His sincere help and insightful assistance and guidance have been extremely
helpful to me. My sincere gratitude is also extended to my supervisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter
Rutschmann for his support, encouragement and advice throughout my research work.
A special thank goes to Prof. Dr. Matthias Becker, Institute of Physical Geodesy- TU Darm-
stadt, for his kind cooperation and providing reference materials and satellite altimetry data for
Aswan High Dam Reservoir.
To al1 my colleagues at Institute of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering, Section of En-
gineering Hydrology and Water Management, I acknowledge your support and kind companion-
ship.
I wish to acknowledge Darmstadt University of Technology for providing me wonderful and all
needed research facilities.
I wish to acknowledge with gratitude and appreciation the Egyptian Cultural Bureau and Study
Mission in Berlin, Germany, for being supportive and helpful. Also I would like to extend my
sincere appreciation and gratitude to the Egyptian Government for the financial support.
Last but not the least, I am extremely grateful to my mother, brothers, and sister for their support
and prayers for me. My wife, and Zeyad, Mohamed and Reem, my children, have been always to
me like candles when it was so dark. The care of my wife and the smile of my children defeated
any feeling of depression.

ABSTRACT
ADAPTIVE RESERVOIR OPERATION STRATEGIES UNDER CHANGING BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS THE CASE OF ASWAN HIGH DAM RESERVOIR
During the lifetime of a reservoir its boundary conditions are continuously changing. Such
changes include global changes such as climate and economic change as well as national, re-
gional and local changes. National changes are often induced by modified political objectives,
regional changes might include supply and demand alterations, while local changes include modi-
fications directly linked to the reservoir infrastructure itself, e.g. reduced storage volume due to
sedimentation or dam enlargement or other technical modifications allowing or forcing modified
operation strategies and rules.
It must be the objective to be prepared for such changes by analysing the consequences of poten-
tial future changes, defined by a set a feasible scenarios (multiple futures). If the consequences of
development scenarios are analysed before the changes occur, immediate adequate reactions be-
come possible.
The assessment of sustainable future development includes multiple criteria chosen from the eco-
nomic, social and ecologic sectors. Adequate political, administrative and technical measures
have to be taken to foster sustainable development.
In this thesis BlueM, a model developed by the Institute for Hydraulic and Water Resources En-
gineering, Section for Engineering Hydrology and Water Management of the Darmstadt Univer-
sity of Technology, Germany, will be used to analyse future development of water resources
yield and demand and related modifications of the infrastructure for the case of the Aswan high
dam reservoir. High emphasis will be given to the technical and economic aspects of the problem
without neglecting the importance and influence of the other sectors.
Analysis will be based on the assumption of regional and local change scenarios, their model
based analysis and the proposal of adequate reactions by identifying adaptive reservoir operation
strategies.
