Title: EXPLICIT FUNCTIONS FOR IMPLICIT RESERVOIR ROUTING
Abstract: Reservoir routing is often conducted with the stage-storage curve of the storage facility. Often at a planning stage, little hydraulic information about the storage facility is known yet. Therefore, a performance curve such as the storage-outflow curve needs to be developed from hydrologic information without detail basin geometry and outlet hydraulics. This paper presents a hydrology based procedure by which the performance curve of a storage facility can be derived from the only knowledge of the inflow hydrograph and design release rate. The three routing functions derived in this study provide either direct graphic solutions or numerical solutions by iterations. It is a useful planning method for a regional flood control planning using detention facilities, water supply planning using a reservoir system, and scenario studies involving storage facilities.
