Abstract

Dam management is a controversial control problem for two reasons. Firstly, models are (by definition) crudely simplified versions of reality. Secondly, historical rainfall data is limited and noisy. As a result, there is no agreement on the "best" control policy for running a dam. Bayesian model averaging is theoretically a good way to cope with these difficulties, but in practice it degrades under two approximations: discretizing the parameter space, and excluding models with a low probability of being correct. This paper explores the practical aspects of how Bayesian model averaging with a neural network controller can improve dam management and flood control.
