Claim:
1. A method for energy production from fluid, the method comprising: receiving historical data relating to a first historical fluid flow pattern of fluid flow into a first reservoir of a set of one or more fluid reservoirs; determining a fluid level in the one or more fluid reservoirs utilizing data received from one or more sensors; determining a rate, with respect to time, of the fluid level increase within one of the one or more fluid reservoirs utilizing the data received from the sensors; determining if the rate of the fluid level increase in the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs is larger than a predetermined threshold; on condition that the rate is larger than the predetermined threshold, sending a signal to a bypass valve to open and release fluid through a bypass fluid connection from the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs; determining a first fluid level threshold for the first fluid reservoir based on the first historical data; determining if the first fluid level threshold is reached in the one of the first fluid reservoir; and on condition that the first fluid threshold is reached, sending a signal to a regulation valve to open for fluid connection from the first fluid reservoir to one or more turbines.
