The operating plan of a dam or a reservoir network is part of the official approval of plans and usually is available as a report or presentation. Its complexity can vary: it ranges from simply defining flood protection areas and setting a reporting and alarm plan to notify the supervisory authorities in exceptional situations to complex sets of rules concerning functional dependencies that derive discharges from varying system states. As follows, ways to clarify the variety of possible regulations and reduce them to essential dependencies are presented. A concept is derived to represent most operating rules by a few basic calculation rules. The given selection does not claim to be complete, but it is likely to contain the rules applied in practice.
