Abstract

Lake Verbano, located in Northern Italy on the Swiss-Italian border, is a natural lake used as multipurpose reservoir. Its management aims at the satisfaction of downstream water supply for hydropower generation and irrigation, and at the control of floods, both on the lake shores and on the outflowing river. Since these objectives are conflicting, this paper explores a methodology aimed at solving the conflict both by a structural modification of the lake outlet and by a modification of the control scheme.
