In summary, a reservoir can have any number of uses. For each use, there is a function depending on the reservoir volume, which must remain constant within an outer time step, but is changeable from time step to time step (time dependency). Besides, scaling the functions differently for each time step accounts for external dependencies via factors. Prerequisites for the scaling are constant factors during the time step. The calculation process is independent of the time step, as it is split according to section changes into an arbitrary number of inner time steps. As a result, the method is suitable for a wide variety of time intervals and produces results that are true to the volume. The method facilitates its use for diverse time intervals, e.g. it is suitable for a flood event with a time step of a few minutes but as well for a long-term simulation with daily values or even larger time intervals. For this purpose, it is critical, to define discharge functions with a sufficient number of supporting points.
