Subject: the volumn-elevation in reservoir Posted: 6/23/2022 Viewed: 5133 times
Hello sirs,
I am new to WEAP. I want to use WEAP to simulate how reservoir influence the inflow and outflow from upstream. I used SWAT model to simulate the streamflow as a input in the WEAP. Does this make sense?
And I don't understand the input of volumn-elevation relationship in WEAP because I have the water level-volumn data. What's the diffence between water level-volumn and volumn-elevation. How could I transfer the volumn-water levle data into volumn-elevation?
Thank you very much.
Mr. Doug Chalmers

Lijuan and anyone else wondering-
Volume-elevation and water level-volume would be the same thing. Both the water level and the elevation define how the height of the water surface changes as the reservoir volume increases.
I am sure you have learned more by now, but yes, hydrology from other models such as SWAT can be brought into WEAP by reading in time-series CSV files using the ReadFromFile Wizard into the expressions in the river objects. More info on reservoir operation is found in the Reservoirs chapter in the WEAP Tutorial.
