Current real-time network management tools are based on two software tools: weather forecasting software and hydraulic simulation software. The use of the former is an important cause of vagueness and uncertainty, the use of the second requires significant time steps of decision that can reach more than 24 hours, because of their high computing time. This way of proceeding makes it almost impossible to manage the errors and unforeseen events with the consequent reduction of the objectives in terms of optimization of the retention capacities and minimization of the discharges in the natural environment.
