At this state, the reservoir is termed fully drawn down. For example, if built to supply water in the dry season, it is the water left behind when no more water can be extracted. Frequently, the effective minimum volume is greater if the water is needed for a purpose behind a dam. Available capacity May require knowing the reservoir's primary ...

The Lal Lal Reservoir (built in 1970 [229] with a capacity of 59,500 megalitres (1.57 × 10 10 US gallons) [230]) is Ballarat's largest water catchment accounting for approximately two-thirds of the city's water usage. [231] The White Swan reservoir (built in 1952 [229] with a 14,100 Ml (3.7 × 10 9 US gal) capacity) supplies most of the ...
The state Department of Water Resources has started using laser and sonar technology to measure reservoir capacity, determining that Lake Oroville, the State Water Project’s largest reservoir ...
The flow of the creek is supplemented by a release of 2,000 megalitres (440,000,000 imp gal; 530,000,000 US gal) of treated waste water per year from the Ballarat North Treatment Plant. [4] The lake outlet is situated in the south-west shore of the lake and flows into Baillie Creek, which is a tributary of Hopkins River .
In 1877 the Gong Gong reservoir was built to alleviate flooding and to replace Lake Wendouree as the primary water source for Ballarat. By the turn of the century, the river had become heavily polluted during the early industrialisation of Ballarat. During the 1960s, the river through the Ballarat CBD was re-routed, concreted and built over.
One’s biological age, which measures the body’s physiological state, may help predict who is at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer.
In hydrology, routing is a technique used to predict the changes in shape of a hydrograph as water moves through a river channel or a reservoir. In flood forecasting, hydrologists may want to know how a short burst of intense rain in an area upstream of a city will change as it reaches the city. Routing can be used to determine whether the ...
