Reservoir Stage-Area Curve Following is the appearance of the Stage-Area tab of the Reservoir Coefficients dialog:
Following is a description of the parameters associated with Stage-Area. Refer to the main Reservoir Coefficients page for information on other categories of coefficients. To save the changes made when closing this dialog, click OK. To ignore changes, click Cancel.
When a single segment simulation is selected, this is the bathymetry curve for the entire reservoir. For a multiple segment simulation, this is the bathymetry of this reservoir segment only. To change values, click with the left mouse button in a cell and change the value. Enter water surface elevations in the left column and the corresponding surface area in the right column. The graph automatically updates itself as data is entered in the spreadsheet. The area value for the lowest stage should be greater than zero.
When the Apply Changes To Selected button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the reservoir segment being edited will be made to all selected reservoir segments. When the Apply Changes To All button is checked, changes made to the coefficients of the reservoir segment being edited will be made to all reservoir segments.
