Try the reservoir

Change the inflow, the release and the rain over the dam's catchment, and see what the reservoir would do over the next 90 days, starting from today's figures.

The reservoir would rise by 0.8 million m³ a day

  • Reaches normal storage in 9 days (23 Nov 2026)
  • Goes above the upper rule curve in 9 days (23 Nov 2026)
  • Reaches its largest capacity: water would go over the spillway in 58 days (11 Jan 2027)

In 90 days it would hold about 209 million m³ (122.7% of capacity)
