Storage Reservoirs for Urban Water Supply/Chapter 9 Storage Function (stabilize flow) seasonal reservoir stabilizing varying seasonal supply distribution reservoir stabilizing a varying demand How much storage capacity needed? Cumulative Net Storage S = cum. net storage (L3) Ot = ODt, volume of reservoir outflow (draft) over Dt (L3) It = IDt, volume of reservoir inflow over Dt (L3) Illustration of Sequent-Peak method for Seasonal Storage, Linsley et al. 1989 Reservoir Storage Capacity (cont’d) Carryover reservoir (Example 9.1) I = varying river flow over critical period (2-3 yrs) O = demands and losses Cannot assume pattern repeats for analysis Distribution reservoir (Example 9.2) Operating storage only I = steady pump flow O = varying demand from distribution grid over 24 hr critical period Pumping rate = daily demand/pumping period Can assume pattern repeats for analysis Reservoir Storage Capacity (Graphical and Analytical Method) Reservoir Storage Capacity (cont’d) Reservoir Storage Capacity (cont’d) * * Low Lift Intake Conduit Treatment High Lift Conveyance Conduit DISTRIBUTION RESERVOIR Distribution Supply Pipe SEASONAL RESERVOIR WELL FIELD Outflow Peak Inflow 0 1 year Demand curve (Outflow) Pumping flow (Inflow) Maximum demand 0 24 hours Inflow Curve store store store release release release IO STORE OI RELEASE “zero reference”
