M-3 : Reservoir capacity computation

Abstract

The present report deals with computation of the storage capacity required in a reservoir. In the beginning definition of a number of terms used in this connection is given. In all three methods which are used for the purpose of computing the required storage capacity of a reservoir are given. These are mass curve method, method based on linear programming and the simulation method. A detailed list of data required for this computation is also given. The recommendations of IS code have been given in appendix which also contains description of the Linear Decision Rule which is a formulation based on linear programming.
