Abstract
Analyses of loss rates from five floodwater detention reservoirs in cavernous terrain are presented. Thirteen variables were included in a factor analysis to determine those significant for estimating reservoir loss rates. Three variables were found to be significant for one reservoir, but the accuracy of estimate of loss rate was not significantly greater than for reservoir stage alone. Loss rates are related arithmetically and by power functions to reservoir stage. The amount of variance explained by reservoir stage ranges from 54% to 90%. Loss rates ranged up to 4.5 acre feet per hour for the five reservoirs.
