Its purposes are multiple, playing an important role for energy production, water supply, flood and drought control, irrigation, recreation, navigation, and so on. Although the benefits entailed to society, the issue of operation of reservoirs should be object of study and critical evaluation, since they are not free from extreme event occurrences. Therefore, the operation of the reservoirs is a relevant topic of the management of water resources, and conflicts about their operation constraints can be related to water use at catchment scale. So economic, social and environmental aspects must determine the goals of the operational rules to minimize those conflicts, and support the Brazilian legislators to ensure the proper laws and regulations to manage the water resources dependent on reservoirs. The employment of computational models can assist managers and legislators nationwide...
