Abstract The multi-reservoir systems optimization problem requires defining a set of rules to recognize the water amount stored and released in accordance with the system constraints. Traditional methods are not suitable for complex multi-reservoir systems with high dimensionality. Recently, metaheuristic-based algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms and local search-based algorithms are successfully used to solve the multi-reservoir systems. β -hill climbing is a recent metaheuristic local search-based algorithm. In this paper, the multi-reservoir systems optimization problem is tackled using β -hill climbing. In order to validate the proposed method, four-reservoir systems used in the literature to evaluate the algorithm are utilized. A comparative evaluation is conducted to evaluate the proposed method against other methods found in the literature. The obtained results show the competitiveness of the proposed algorithm.
