During drought, a keyaim of water-resource management is to prepare the realistic reservoir operating policies for water allocation, especially in a river system involved with flood-control reservoirs. Hence it is very much necessary to plan for the drought situations and the mitigation measure suggestions of the same.The paper herewith discuss about the optimization model for the Khadakwasla Reservoir operations based on the data of draught occurred in the 2009.Even during the drought situations there are demands of water downstream and the maximum flow to the reservoir is assumed during the drought situations to develop a draught allocation model.. During the drought situations the available waters tends to concentrate in a small area of reservoir and it leads to the maximum loss of water through evaporation and seepages. Considering the above allocation model has some limits to distribute the available water to the demand sources
