The requirement is that there should be at least two water users (as well as an ownership system) in the river system being modelled, in addition to at least one link.
Definitions
Dead storage | The storage remaining in a division when the stream has ceased to flow. This storage is affected by fluxes which are independent of index flow in the division. See Link storage routing - SRG for more information. |
Division | In Source, a routing link represents a river reach, which is divided into one or more divisions of equal length. Ownership modelling takes place at the level of a division. |
Fixed flux | Loss fluxes whose ownership is known a priori because they are shared by fixed ratio or by some other means such as time-series or expression. |
Flow based flux | Lateral flux in a division whose rate is a function of the division’s index flow rate. |
General purpose flow based flux | A modeller configured, piecewise monotonically increasing relationship between flux and index flow. See Link storage routing - SRG for more information. |
Groundwater flux | A function of head/water level which, in turn, is a function of flow. The flux calculated via a linked groundwater model. See Link storage routing - SRG for more information. |
Lateral flux | Flow into or from the division that is not from upstream or going downstream. In Source, this can consist of groundwater infiltration, evaporation, precipitation, time series flux (representing diversions etc.), or flow based flux (general purpose, could be used to represent overbank loss). See the Link Storage Routing SRG for more information. |
Live Storage | That part of the total storage in a division that is a function of the index flow rate (see the Link storage routing - SRG for more information). |
Murray-style loss | Method of sharing the loss (or gain) from a division due to high flow. Losses caused by flows in excess of the regulated flow range are shared to owners in proportion to how far each of them is above their fixed share of the regulated flow range. In Source, the losses to be shared in this way are represented by the flow based flux. |
Net evaporation | Evaporation less rainfall. |
Owner | An entity such as a state, country or water user group that has a defined share of water in the river system, where this share is managed completely separately from any other share. |
Ownership system | A component in Source used to track and manage the ownership of water in a defined section of a modelled river network. An ownership system has a set of owners that share water within the ownership system’s boundaries. Each of these owners may lend water surplus to their requirements to other owners with a deficit via the ownership system’s borrow and payback systems. Lending owners can be paid back some time later at any location within the ownership system boundary. |
Proportional flux | Loss fluxes that are shared in proportion to the ownership of the water in the division. |
Storage | Volume of water within a division at a defined point in time. |
Time series flux | A modeller specified time series used to represent known losses or gains of particular owners from a division. See Link storage routing - SRG for more information. |
Other definitions can be found in the eWater River Systems glossary.

Table 1. Assumptions and constraints applicable to modelling ownership on links
No. | Assumption/constraint |
---|---|
1 | Owners cannot have a negative share of water in storage or in transit. |
2 | The sum of all owners’ shares of storage in a link equals the link’s total storage volume. |

Background
In Source, components that are physically or logically connected are joined using a link. If the connection is significant enough to have an effect on the time that water would take to pass along it then the link is modelled as a routing link. Each routing link is subdivided into one or more divisions.

States of a division: live or dead
...
A division is dead if x = 1 and or if x ≠ 1 and the following is true:
Equation 1 |
---|
Ownership of division storage
...
The live storage in a division is the storage above dead storage, as shown in Figure 1, and is obtained from:
Equation 2 |
---|
The total volume of water in a division is then:
Equation 3 |
---|
Sharing dead storage
Ownership of the dead storage is shared by fixed ratio (Ratiods(o)) to all of the owners. Hence:
Equation 4 |
---|
Where the sum of all the ratios is equal to one. That is:
Equation 5 |
---|
Also if the maximum total dead storage specified by the modeller is StoragedsMAX then each owner’s share of this is:
Equation 6 |
---|
Water is borrowed and lent between all of the owners so that the fixed ownership share given by equation (4) is always maintained.
...
Live storage is shared according to the owner’s share of the index flow rate () (see Proportional Routing, below, for an explanation of this approach). The live storage calculation is done after each owner’s outflow has been determined.
Equation 7 |
---|
Equation 8 |
---|
Ownership of fluxes
Inflow flux
In the flow phase, the outflow flux from the division upstream becomes the inflow flux to the current division (or the outflow flux from the upstream node becomes the inflow to the division if the most upstream division in a link is being considered). The same is true for the inflow flux per owner (the ownership processing for the upstream division or node has already determined its outflow per owner).
Equation 9 |
---|
Equation 10 |
---|
Outflow flux
The total outflow volume is also known after the reach’s flow routing is complete. Ownership processing determines each owner’s share of this outflow flux. The owner’s share of this flux is calculated based on mass balance and proportional routing. The resultant equation (equation (23)) and its derivation are explained in the section on Owner’s outflow formula (excludes high flow losses) below.
...
The total fixed loss, Lossfixed, is distributed to owners based on the specified ratios, expression, or time series such that:
Equation 11 |
---|
An owner’s share of fixed losses is adjusted if that owner does not have sufficient water in the division to cater for the loss. In a live division, an owner’s highest possible fixed loss occurs when their outflow is zero. In a dead division, the owner’s fixed loss cannot be larger than their share of dead storage. The Borrow and Payback mechanism is used to adjust owner shares of fixed loss for these situations. See Ownership adjustments for more information.
...
If the division is live, owner shares of proportional losses are based on each owner’s index flow rate (see Proportional Routing for an explanation of this approach).
Equation 12 |
---|
Equation 13 |
---|
If the division is dead, proportional losses are shared according to the owner’s fixed share of dead storage:
Equation 14 |
---|
Murray-style High Flow Loss Sharing
...
It is assumed that ownership is conserved in every division of a reach. This is reflected in the ownership mass balance equation below. This shows that the difference between an owner’s share of storage at the beginning and end of a time step should be the sum of their share of all the division’s fluxes.
Equation 15 |
---|
When Murray-style high flow losses are specified, these are separated from other proportional losses, and the mass balance equation takes the form:
Equation 16 |
---|
Live division model, assumptions and equations
...
The owner’s index flow rate () is determined from the inflow volume I(o), outflow volume O(0) and the Muskingum parameter x (see Link storage routing - SRG for details):
Equation 17 |
---|
Anchor | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
Proportional routing is used to share the division’s active (live) storage between owners. This is based on the idea that ownership travels at the rate that each owners’ flow influences the flow in the division. If we consider a division and divide each owners’ inflow into a very large number of small pieces, that each time one more of these slices is passed through, the increment in division storage (Storage) can be approximated as a linear function g of the increment in the index flow rate :
Equation 18 |
---|
It can also be assumed that go ≈ go-1 ; i.e. the ratio g is the same for each owner’s slice of water as it passes through the division. After summing up all of the slices the following relationship is obtained:
Equation 19 |
---|
From this, lateral loss fluxes that are proportionally shared can also be shared in proportion to the ownership ratios in live storage, as this is the same as sharing in proportion to each owner’s index flow rate. Hence, substituting from equation (19) into equation (13) and rearranging yields:
Equation 20 |
---|
Owner's outflow formula (excludes high flow losses)
...
To simplify later steps, r is defined as:
Equation 21 |
---|
Combining mass balance equation (15) with equations (19) and (21) gives:
Equation 22 |
---|
Rewriting (22) by substituting equation (17) for , and rearranging in terms of owner outflow volume , gives:
Equation 23 |
---|
If high flow losses are not specified, the result of this outflow volume equation is used in the mass balance equation to determine division storage at the end of a time-step.
...
In the Murray, losses caused by flows in excess of the regulated flow range are shared to owners in proportion to how far each of them is above their fixed share of this range. Hence, if is owner o’s current flow rate, RatioHFT(o) is their share of the high flow threshold,is the high flow threshold,the total flow rate, and LossHF the total high flow loss, then owner o’s share of the high flow loss is:
Equation 24 |
---|
Substituting equation (19) into equation (24) enables it to be re-written in terms of the division’s storages, as follows:
Equation 25 |
---|
High flow losses are worn only by owners where Storage(o,t)-StoragedsMAX(o) is greater than their share of the high flow threshold (StorageHFTRatioHFT(o)). Owners that will not be required to contribute the high flow loss are identified by calculating Storage(o,t) for each owner assuming that LossHF=0 and finding those that fall short of their share of the high flow threshold.
From equation (25), for those owners that exceed their share of the threshold:
Equation 26 |
---|
The denominator of equation (26) is the total volume above the high flow threshold of owners contributing to the high flow loss. The equations that follow are used to determine values required to find this.
Firstly, a modified high flow threshold is defined that applies to the owners, j (where j is defined in Table 2, and the relevant owners are those that have, with LossHF=0, a trial value of Storage(o,t) such that Storage(o,t) > StoragedsMAX(o) + StorageHFTRatioHFT(o)):
Equation 27 |
---|
where:
is set-builder notation to indicate that the modified high flow threshold is the sum of all the owners’ shares of the threshold where the high flow loss is not going to be zero.
Next, it is necessary to determine the total volume of water this time step belonging to owners that are not contributing to the high flow loss, i.e. Storageexclude:
Equation 28 |
---|
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Note: in equation (28), j refers to owners whose current storage does not contribute to the high flow loss. |
The denominator of equation (26) (current live volume contributing to high flow loss) is then:
Equation 29 |
---|
Equation (26) can now be recast in terms of the total volume in the division:
Equation 30 |
---|
Rearranged:
Equation 31 |
---|
High flow loss solutions over a time-step
...
In this case, the index flow rate is the same as the inflow rate, and an owner’s share of inflow will determine their share of active storage. The proportional routing formula (equation (19)) can be rewritten and applied to inflow as shown in equation (32), below and then rearranged to determine the owner’s share of storage.
Equation 32 |
---|
Equation 33 |
---|
The owner’s share of proportional lateral flux is then found by substituting into equation (20) and rearranging.
Equation 34 |
---|
Each owner’s storage Storage(o,t) - StoragedsMAX(o) is compared to StorageHFTRatioHFT(o) to determine whether a high flow loss applies. If it does, equation (24) is used to determine this value. Mass balance is applied to determine each owner’s share of outflow.
...
This solution is applied in divisions where Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1 to owners that have Storage(o,t) ≤ StoragedsMAX(o) + StorageHFTRatioHFT(o). To solve mass balance, the outflow volume (O(o)) is recast in terms of the division’s live storages. Recalling the index flow ratefrom equation (17) and rearranging for O(o):
Equation 35 |
---|
Equation (35) can be rewritten in terms of live storage using the proportional routing equation, equation (19), as follows:
Equation 36 |
---|
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Note: Equation (36) does not work for the case where x = 1 as it would lead to an attempt to divide by zero. This reflects the fact that in this case there is no relationship between the division’s outflow and live storage. |
Combining the mass balance and proportional loss equations (i.e. equations (15) and (19)) with equation (36), and rearranging yields:
Equation 37 |
---|
Case of Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1, owner with a high flow loss
This solution is applied in divisions where Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1 to owners that have Storage(o,t) > StoragedsMAX(o) + StorageHFTRatioHFT(o). The approach is based on defining a modified proportional loss which is the remaining proportional loss not accounted for after considering those owners not contributing to the high flow loss:
Equation 38 |
---|
Combining the mass balance and proportional loss equations (i.e. equations (15) and (19)), the loss equation (31), equation (35), and equation (38) above, and rearranging yields:
Equation 39 |
---|
Potential issue with high flow loss calculation (Case of x ≠ 1): Outflow can be negative
...
Proportional routing cannot be used to determine owner shares where there is no active storage in a division. In this situation, the fully mixed (continuous stirred reactor) model is used. This approach is based on the concept that ownership will travel as if it were a substance mixed uniformly throughout the routing storages. If a substance, i, is completely mixed throughout a volume and a sample from that volume is taken, the following relationship applies:
Equation 40 |
---|
where:
M is the total mass in the volume;
...
To calculate an owner’s storage volume (Storage(o,t)) in a dead division, the fully mixed principle expressed in equation (40) is applied to a stored volume of water (Storage), with outflow (due to fluxes) O as the sample, and ownership o as the substance of interest. The resultant relationship is:
Equation 41 |
---|
Rearranging this:
Equation 42 |
---|
Proportional losses in a dead division are shared in the proportions of the stored water, therefore:
Equation 43 |
---|
Reiterating equation (15), the mass balance of a routing division over a time step is:
Equation 44 |
---|
Substituting equations (42) and (43) into (44), and rearranging the unknowns to the left hand side yields:
Equation 45 |
---|
This can be rearranged to solve for an owner’s storage volume, Storage(o,t), as follows:
Equation 46 |
---|
Anchor | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
...
If the division has started flowing again in the current model time step - that is, it has gone from being dead to being live - a correction is required if there was airspace in the dead storage last time step (i.e. if dead storage was not full: Storage(t-1) < StoragedsMAX). Firstly the airspace volume to be filled is calculated:
Equation 47 |
---|
Secondly, each owner’s fixed loss for the current model time step is increased to represent their contribution to filling the airspace storage volume, and is equivalent to reducing the volume available to contribute to filling live storage by the requisite amount. The relevant equation is:
Equation 48 |
---|
This is also consistent with the fully mixed principle discussed in the section on Owner’s storage formula, above. The final step is to adjust the value of the storage for last time step, so it is the appropriate value to use in calculations for a live division in the current time step (note, this adjustment occurs after outputs for the last time step are recorded). That is:
Equation 49 |
---|
Equation 50 |
---|
Borrow and payback
If an owner’s share of fixed losses is greater than their available capacity to meet a lateral outflow flux requirement, then an adjustment is made which entails borrowing from other owners that have surplus capacity available, with later payback. Different methods are used to determine whether each owner has a capacity deficit or has surplus capacity, depending on whether the division is live or dead (see the sub-sections below). The borrow and payback options available are:
...
In a live division, the maximum fixed loss an owner could meet is that which would occur when their outflow is equal to zero (i.e. when O(o) = 0). The value of Lossfixed(o) that will result in O(o) = 0 can be found from equation (23), re-expressed as follows:
Equation 51 |
---|
For each owner, the values of surplus and deficit for borrow and payback are therefore:
Equation 52 |
---|
Equation 53 |
---|
Live Division – Outflow Borrow and Payback
...
In a dead division, determining whether each owner has a surplus or a deficit, and the magnitude, is based on the mass balance equation (equation (15)), re-expressed as follows:
Equation 54 |
---|
A positive net volume is a surplus, and a negative net volume is a deficit. Hence the values for borrow and payback are:
Equation 55 |

Figure 2. Flowchart- of main steps in ownership processing for a division in a time step
For every division, to determine owner volumes of inflow, lateral flux, outflow, storage and mass balance, the steps for each model time step are as follows:
- Initialise temporary parameters.
Set each owner’s upstream inflow I(o) to equal that owner’s share of the upstream component’s outflow using equation (10). (The upstream component is the next division upstream, or if it is the first division in the link, the upstream node).
- Determine the volume of the total flow based flux, fFlowLG(), for this time step to be shared according to fixed ratio, expression or time series specified by the modeller. Where relevant, also determine the volume, LossHF, that is to be shared using high flow rules (i.e. Murray-style losses), which is the volume that is in excess of the value of fFlowLG().
- If the ownership system uses Murray-style losses:
The flux based on flow up to the high flow threshold is shared according to fixed ratio. This volume is:
Equation 57 The flux based on flow above the high flow threshold is shared according to high-flow rules. This volume is:
Equation 58
Otherwise, all the flux is shared using fixed shares, expression or time series specified by the modeller:
Equation 59
- If the ownership system uses Murray-style losses:
- Determine every owner’s fixed flux total for this time step (Lossfixed(o)), where the modeller has specified which of the link’s lateral fluxes (time series, general purpose flow based, groundwater and net evaporation) are fixed at the ownership system level (noting these must satisfy equation (11)).
- Time series flux:
- Determine the owner’s share of input time series flux(es) FluxTS(o):
If the time series flux for the current link is not input per owner, and for the ownership system time series flux sharing is by fixed ratio, apply the specified owner’s ratio to the total time series flux, FluxTS, that was calculated prior to ownership processing (FluxTS has been adjusted to ensure total loss does not exceed the amount of water in the division).
Equation 60 If the time series flux for the current link is input per owner, get the owner’s flux for this time step from the input time series:
If LossGainTS < 0 the flux is a gain, this needs no adjustment:Equation 61 Otherwise, the flux is a loss that may need to be scaled down (This is to allow for the case where the time series has pumped the division dry. The overall time series loss FluxTS has already been adjusted by link processing to ensure losses do not exceed water in the link. Input owner time series losses are scaled down so their sum does not exceed the total adjusted for any owner time series gains.).
Equation 62
Set the following
Equation 63
- Determine the owner’s share of input time series flux(es) FluxTS(o):
Determine the owner’s fixed share of the flow based flux when the ownership system uses Murray-style lossesor it uses fixed ratio to share other lateral fluxes:
Equation 64 Equation 65 If the ownership system uses fixed ratio to share other lateral fluxes: Apply the owner’s configured Ratioloss(o) to the remaining lateral fluxes and add their share of these to their fixed flux total:
Owner’s net evaporation flux:
Equation 66 Owner’s groundwater flux:
Equation 67 Equation 68
- Time series flux:
- Determine the total proportional flux, Lossprop.
- Initially Lossprop = 0
If time series flux sharing is ‘Proportional’, a total time series was input, so:
Equation 69 If Murray-style losses are not being modelled and other lateral flux sharing is ‘Proportional’:
Equation 70 If other lateral flux sharing is ‘Proportional’:
Equation 71
- Determine the division’s state (‘dead’ or ‘live’).
- If Muskingum weighting factor and there is no inflow (I = 0), it is ‘dead’:
State = Dead Otherwise, compare the result of the storage function to the mass balance equation to determine division state (if they are within maxError, the division is ‘live’):
Equation 72 Equation 73 then State = Live
Otherwise State = Dead
- If Muskingum weighting factor and there is no inflow (I = 0), it is ‘dead’:
- Find the division’s storage using a method appropriate to the state of the division (i.e. whether ‘dead’ or ‘live’). These methods are summarised in the two following sections.
Calculate each owner’s outflow, O(o), using equations (15) or (16), as appropriate, rearranged so the term O(o) is on the left hand side of the equation.
Equation 74 - Adjust owner shares of outflow as necessary to ensure that none are negative. The principles are discussed in Ownership Adjustments, above. In summary, if O(o) < 0, the owner concerned borrows from other owners to ensure O(o)=0.
- If any owner’s outflow is negative then:
Calculate surplus/deficit for each owner.
Equation 75 Equation 76 Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method. This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).
Adjust the outflows to account for borrowing:
Equation 77 Equation 78
- If any owner’s outflow is negative then:
Calculate owner mass balances to report, based on equation (15) or (16), as appropriate, using adjusted values of O(o)=0.
Equation 79
Dead division
The steps involved in processing a dead division are as follows:
Calculate the final storage for each owner, Storage(o, t), using equation (14):
Equation 80 - Fixed losses are adjusted so that mass balance can be achieved when the owner has the configured ratio of dead storage, using equations (54), (55), and (56).
Calculate how much each owner has in excess of the final storage:
Equation 81 Set each owner’s surplus or deficit:
Equation 82 Equation 83 Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method (Refer to Borrow and Payback - SRG for more information). This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).
Adjust the fix losses to account for borrowing:
Equation 84 Equation 85
- Calculate each owner’s share of the proportional lateral flux (Lossprop(o)) using equation (43).
If the time series flux is specified to be shared proportionally:
Equation 86 If other lateral fluxes are to be shared proportionally:
For each of groundwater, net evaporation fluxes and, if Murray-style losses are not being modelled, flow based flux (FluxGW, FluxNE, Fluxflow ):Equation 87
Live division
Figure 3 provides an overview of the procedure. The steps are explained in more detail below.
...
- If the division is transitioning from dead to live (i.e. Statet-1 = Dead) and Storage(t - 1) < StoragedsMAX, Storage(t - 1), and the fixed lateral flux for each owner, Lossfixed(o), are adjusted as described in the Division transitioning from dead to live section under Ownership adjustments (equations (47), (48), (49) and (50) above). The steps are:
Adjust each owner’s fixed lateral flux to include the volume to fill dead storage
Equation 88 Set the apparent storage for last time step to the maximum dead storage.
Equation 89 Set the apparent storage for each owner at the last time step to their share of the maximum dead storage.
Equation 90
- Calculate the total ‘live’ storage for reporting (and use in further calculations), where Storagelive = Storage(t) - StoragedsMAX as per equation (20).
- Calculate trial storage volumes for each owner (that assume no high flow loss):
If Muskingum x = 1, outflow and storage are not interdependent, so the proportional routing model can be applied directly:
Equation 91 - Otherwise outflow and storage interact, so a more complex method is needed:
Adjust owner fixed lateral fluxes to ensure no owner has a negative outflow:
To determine the ratio r, use equation (21)
Equation 92 (Note that Storagelive = Storage(t) - StoragedsMAX)
Adjust owner fixed lateral fluxes to ensure no owner has a negative outflow. This involves finding the maximum fixed loss that each owner can sustain with non-negative outflow and the resultant surplus/deficit using equations (51), (52) and (53).
Equation 93 Equation 94 Equation 95 Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method (Refer to Borrow and Payback - SRG for more information). This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).
For each owner: Add amount lent and subtract amount borrowed from the fixed loss - refer to equations 84 and 85.
Use the proportional routing model equation (37) to determine trial volumes for each owner (assuming no high flow losses at this stage):
Equation 96 Equation 97
- If there is a high flow loss (LossHF > 0):
If Muskingum x ≠ 1 high flow losses will impact storage volumes. The approach described in the section on High flow loss formula (Murray-style), under Live division model, assumptions and equations above, is used to determine the final storage volume for each owner.
Calculate owner shares of the high flow loss using equation (26):
Equation 98
- Calculate each owner’s share of each proportional lateral flux for reporting using equation (20), after rearranging so the term Lossprop is on the right hand side (i.e. by rearranging to match the form of equation (13)):
If the time series flux is configured to be shared proportionally
Equation 99 If other lateral fluxes are configured to be shared proportionally:
For each of groundwater, net evaporation fluxes and, if Murray-style losses are not being modelled, flow based flux (FluxGW, FluxNE, Fluxflow):

Adjust Owner Storage Volumes For High Flow Loss
...
- Create a list of HighFlowOwners whose trial storage exceeds their share of the high flow threshold volume (Storage(o, t) > StorageHFT(o) + StoragedsMAX(o)), and another list of the remaining ExcludedOwners (that have Storage(o, t) ≤ StorageHFT(o) + StoragedsMAX(o)).
Find the modified high flow storage threshold that applies to HighFlowOwners:
Equation 101 Find the total storage and the total proportional flux volumes owned by the (whose storage volume does not contribute to the high flow loss):
Equation 102 Equation 103 Find the total division storage volume contributing to high flow losses this time step:
Equation 104 Calculate for each owner in HighFlowOwners their final storage for this time step using equation (39) with Storagelive substituted for Storage(t) - StoragedsMAX:
Equation 105
