Summary The possibility of effective dam operation on water utilization was investigated by introducing long-term meteorological forecast. One-month meteorological forecast was modified to improve its accuracy by statistical method (Artificial Neural Network). The dam operation simulation on water utilization was conducted by the modified one-month precipitation forecast. It was found that the drought duration was decreased by utilizing the modified one-month precipitation forecast.
