In practice, this form of dependency is often found where water rights define maximum withdrawal quantities per time unit. But the application of a balance is also interesting in connection with the long-term behaviour of reservoir fillings or inflows. For example, a discharge could be reduced in order to build up reserves if the inflow of the past winter half year was below a defined expected value. Another application is the comparison between long-term and current moving averages of reservoir filling. If the current values deviate from the long-term values by a certain amount, the discharge can be reduced or increased to compensate.
