Multi-Stakeholder Coordinated Operation of Reservoir Considering Irrigation and Ecology
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper is well-organized and easy to understand. However it is not well-written. Some specific comments are as follows:
Introduction:
The introduction is well conducted. It addresses the issue and refers to relevant literature. However, please emphasize on works recently done (not older than 5 years). Please check the punctuation.
Study area:
L113. Geographical coordinates could be added. L115. Figure 1- space. Please check and put the spaces (e.g. L126- 52 m3/s and 5m3/s). L135. Are there any proofs?
Results and Discussion:
The discussion should be completed. Please add more works because the purpose of the discussion is to review the study findings in light of the published literature.

Reviewer 2 Report
The authors propose a multi-stakeholder coordinated reservoir operation (MSCOR) method, with the aim of increasing coordination. They establish the multi-stakeholder interval coordination mechanism (MSICM) for the operation of reservoirs. For that, the multi-stakeholder coordinated operation model (MSCOM) is built.
Taking the Baojixia Reservoir as an example, this article studies the relationship between the benefits of irrigation and the ecological benefits of the reservoir. The authors find that there is a competitive relationship between the benefits of irrigation and the ecological benefits. The MSICM ensures that the multi-stakeholder operation of the reservoir conforms to the principles of integrity, balance and sustainability.
The research results provide a new insight and method for the MSCOR problem. the coordination scheme obtained by the MSIC-NSGA-II-SEABODE algorithm is reasonable and feasible
The research seems to have been conducted with care and the results look useful. Studies such as the one described in this paper are important, as it is necessary to find a reasonable and applicable method for multi-stakeholder coordinated operation of reservoirs (MSCOR).
This study is well performed. The results provide an advanced in current knowledge. Conclusions are justified and supported by the results and the authors show an excellent knowledge of the literature, and the work described is well presented.
I consider that this article could be accepted, because the work has a lot of potential.

Reviewer 3 Report
This article is entitled "Multi-stakeholder Coordinated Operation of Reservoir Considering Irrigation and Ecolog "has solved the problem using multi-objective meta-heuristic algorithms. The structure of the article is well observed and the article is of good quality. The following corrections are suggested to improve the article:
1. Numerical and evaluation results are added in the abstract.
2. Further discussion of the results and comparison with past research.
3. Explain the limitations and weaknesses of the research.
4. Make future suggestions in this regard.

Reviewer 4 Report
The paperdeals with a very interesting problem of water management in a reservoir in conditions of often contradictory needs of stakeholders. This issue is very important in the case of water shortages. The paper presents a possible solution to the problem with the use of optimization procedures.
In my opinion, the procedures applied and the results obtained were properly described. The article may be published as it is.
