Storages are used to hold water for varying periods. They include dams and other reservoirs; weir pools; urban detention, retention or retarding basins; and natural lakes. In regulated river systems, storages control the supply of water to consumptive and non-consumptive users, and may also provide flood mitigation and environmental services. Typically, inflows to storages include stream flow from upstream catchments, rainfall over the storage surface area, recharge from groundwater, and runoff from the local catchment surrounding the storage. Outflows from storages include controlled releases and spills. Losses from storages include evaporation from the storage surface area and seepage to groundwater.

These values stay the same for the length of the model run and can then be used at each time step. Using the current value of Ordersj and Edepth we can calculate the corresponding value of ε for each table row (V):
