• Dependency:

The specification of a minimum or maximum discharge is based on requirements downstream of a storage. The maximal discharge is based on the discharge respective to a critical, downstream cross-section. Consequently, a hydraulic method exists for its determination. In contrast, there is no clear guideline for the minimum discharge. Often, ratios of MNQ or MQ are used. Independent of determining the minimum or maximum discharge, the basic principle to verify outlet elements' physical limits is applied. So, minimum and maximum discharge can only be discharged if the outlet capacity is sufficient at the given pressure level. Since, in reality, it is unlikely that the dimensioning of the outlet elements and the required discharge are conflicting, the reference to the dependence on the storage capacity content is rather theoretical but necessary to derive general laws.
