“This procedure derives the outflow hydrograph from a reservoir from the inflow hydrograph into the reservoir with consideration of elevation, storage, and discharge characteristics of the reservoir and spillways. The conservation of mass equation is solved with the assumption that outflow discharge and volume of storage are directly related.” [1]
“For reservoirs, the relation of surface area and release capacity to storage content must be described. Characteristics of the control gates on the outlets and spillway must be known in order to determine constraints on operation. The top-of-dam elevation must be specified and the ability of the structure to withstand overtopping must be assessed.” [2].
