	%X Considering a reservoir with periodic states and
different cost functions with penalty, its release rules can be
modeled as a periodic Markov decision process (PMDP). First,
we prove that policy- iteration algorithm also works for the
PMDP. Then, with policy- iteration algorithm, we obtain the
optimal policies for a special aperiodic reservoir model with
two cost functions under large penalty and give a discussion
when the penalty is small.
