Monthly Flow and Demand Analysis

The document presents data on monthly flow volumes and accumulated demand volumes over a 12 month period. It also contains two examples of determining required reservoir capacity given inflow and demand data over time periods using mass curve and sequent peak methods.

Determine the required capacity of a reservoir
whose inflow and demands over a 6-period
sequence are given below

Period, t 1 2 3 4 5 6
Inflow, Qt (m3/s) 4 8 7 3 2 0
Demand, Rt(m3/s) 5 0 5 6 2 6

Total Inflows = Total Demads = 24 (m3/s)
