Abstract
This technical note describes the data and analysis to determine a factor to adjust theoretical estimates of reservoir storage capacity, based only on annual inflow hydrology, for practical issues including net evaporation loss, varying operating rules and seasonal demands, monthly inflow variability, dead storage, and site characteristics. Based on an analysis of 30 large Australian reservoirs, a mean adjustment factor between the theoretical storage estimates and the equivalent constructed values was found to be 0.32 (±0.15).
