Some numerical procedures for solving reservoir leakage difficulties

Abstract

The authors describe procedures for determining the level of water in the water storage reservoir of known volume, to which a known quantity of water is supplied, and from which the water can be evacuated via an overflow or in some other way. Unlike methods that are based on an integral formulation of mass balance, the authors have developed a differential formulation of the problem. At that, they have introduced a novel parameter "storage capacity function derivative". The comparison of these two approaches reveals that the differential formulation is simpler and more accurate in practical use.
