Abstract: The reservoir water level is controlled by dam gates. If water comes to a reservoir in huge quantity more than its full capacity then the gates are required to be opened. But if water is less then gates are closed to store water for future use. Some questions are always there in front of decision makers and dam engineers such as how to decide whether to open or close the dam gates. A solution of above problems needs a dedicated program based on Intelligent Decision Support System (DSS) using latest IT tools to decide that how much quantity of water is reaching to the reservoir in advance in the event of rainfall upstream and in what period, so accordingly Dam gates could be managed. In an absence of such type of program, floods are damaging the property year after year. For management of dam efficiently, it requires taking fast and precise decisions after analyzing available data and making predictions so that flood situation can be avoided. It should be flexible enough and able to handle water level in the reservoir and Gate management efficiently.
