Reservoir Storage Volume Calculator (when slopes in the reservoir area is given)










Storage Volume Formula

Volume (\( V = A_0 d + \frac{177 d^2 \sqrt{A_0}}{S} \)):

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume of storage, in cubic length (L³).
  • \( A_0 \) is the area at the spillway crest, in square length (L²).
  • \( d \) is the depth of water above the spillway crest, in length (L).
  • \( S \) is the average slope of the reservoir sides and banks, in percent (%).
