The approach of operating a storage or regulating elements to directly or indirectly facilitate or influence a use is called storage operation. For each use, the optimal condition is expressed as a target and the targets of several uses might be competing. E.g., to safely operate a water supply from a storage, it is optimal to store as much water as possible. However, to use the storage as a flood protection measure, an empty storage is optimal. Models can help to optimize the system states considering competing uses. A well-adjusted balance is gained by defining the storage operation.
