A Measure of Reservoir Efficiency

by Steven G. Buchberger, Univ of Cincinnati, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Soil Properties Evaluation from Centrifugal Models and Field Performance

Abstract:

The notion of reservoir efficiency is defined for a water supply reservoir operated according to the standard policy, that is, one where the release is constant whenever physically possible. An example illustrates how reservoir efficiency provides a consistent basis for comparing and evaluating the steady-state performance of storage facilities.
