• Dependency:

The normal discharge to the downstream water provides a discharge compensation for seasonal differences in the inflow. If a minimum discharge is required, it will be included in the normal discharge. A pool-based operating plan is used to describe the normal discharge. It divides the storage capacity into different areas (pool-based operation) and assigns a discharge to each pool-based operation. When determining the pool-based operating plan, the long-term discharge and other withdrawals from the reservoir for other purposes play a decisive role. A reservoir should collect water in periods of high inflow but still not overflow to have sufficient reserves in periods of low inflow. The coupling of the releases to the storage pool-based operation is a function of the storage volume. Since the system is supposed to react to variations of inflow during the year, the relationship between storage volume and discharge is usually variable over time.
