Pool ownership time series

(Only available for Allocation pool reservoirs).

Allocation pool owners can be Water users, Hydropower plants or other Res­ervoirs that extract water from the Reservoir. Additionally, the downstream river ‘owns’ an allocation pool (sometimes called ‘water quality pool’) that releases water to the downstream river. Pool ownership time series for the downstream river is specified in the Operations properties dialogue (cf. Sec­tion 9.2).

To add pool ownership time series to a user click on the ‘pool ownership grid cell’, 

and a  button appears in the right-hand side of the grid cell.

Click on the  button and select Browse to include an existing time series or select Create a new file... to open the ‘Create a new file’ dialogue.

Pool ownership time series must contain two items:

·         Fraction of total storage owned by that water user;

·         Fraction of inflow owned by that user.

Note that for both items the sum of the fractions owned by all users including the downstream release should add up to 1.0.
