The paper describes the development of a method which enables formulation of reservoir operation rules in a multi-reservoir water resources system. The method consists of three major steps: (1 ) development of a mathematical model of a multivariate (time and space) river flow process and gener ation of a synthetic input to the system, (2) development of a mathematical model of a water resources system and the simulation of its operation over the whole period of synthetic inflows (simulation coupled with one of the mathematical programming techniques), and (3) statistical analysis of the results of the simulation-optimization computations. Consecutive implementation of all steps leads to the formulation of the operation rules for all the reservoirs in the system. La methode Monte Carlo pour l'optimization des regles operatoires pour un systeme de reservoirs Resume. Cet article decrit une methode qui rend possible la formulation de regles operatoires dans le cas d'un systeme de ressources en eau comprenant des reservoirs multiples. La methode consiste en une sequence de trois etapes: (1) developpement d'un modele mathematique d'un processus multidimension- nel (temps et espace) et generation des debits entrant dans le systeme, (2) developpement d'un modele mathematique du systeme de ressources en eau et simulation de ses operations sur le trace entier des debits synthetiques entrant (simulation couplee avec une technique de programmation mathematique), et (3) analyse statistique des resultats du calcul de simulation-op timisation. La sequence des trois etapes conduit a la formulation de regles operatoires pour tous les reservoirs du systeme.
