Storage properties

ID. An identifier must be specified for the storage here.

Storage capacity type. The storage capacity type of the reservoir must be defined using the drop-down menu. There are two options:

·         Elevation-area: Additional storage area is derived directly from the Ele­vation-Area relationship by using the water level in the reservoir. An Ele­vation-Area relationship is specified by entering corresponding values of Elevation and Area in the table. Click the Append button to add a row to the table.

·         Elevation-volume: Additional storage area is calculated by using the Ele­vation-Storage volume relationship and the following formula:

(6.20)   

where:

-          –         FlA: Flooded or additional storage area at level ‘i’ or ‘i+1’

-          –         

-           and

-           are differences in volumes and levels respec­tively from values defined in the Elevation-Storage volume table.

Initial surface area. The initial surface area must be defined if Elevation-vol­ume storage capacity type is selected.
