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 13.7 million m³ a day

  • Reaches its largest capacity: water would go over the spillway in 11 days (25 Nov 2026)

In 90 days it would hold about 1,036 million m³ (118.8% of capacity)
