Controlling multi-reservoir systems

The paper extends the results of the form of the optimal policy for a hydroelectric reservoir problem from the one-reservoir case to multi-reservoir cases. The importance of these new results in practice is that they allow more efficient solution algorithms to be developed. Since multi-reservoir problems are extremely difficult to solve, such algorithms are of great value.
