CAPACITY OF RESERVOIR /N GALLO
Note
 .The figures in the right-hand
column
  at the ends of the curved lines are inches of mean
annual
  rainfall over a period of 5o years.
The co-ordinates to any point upon any curved
line
  give respectively the required reservoir capacity and daily yield in gallons per acre of drainage area, corresponding with the mean
annual
  rainfall
represented by that curved
line
 .
The curves have been
drawn
  for a mean annual evaporation of rq in. For any increased
rate
  of evaporation r / in. are to be subtracted from the rainfall for each inch of evaporation above 14 in. For any decreased
rate
  of evaporation r in. are to be added to the rainfall for each inch of evaporation below 14 in.
Any excess of evaporation from the
water
  surface and allowance for bottom
water
  are to be added to the storage so found.
The period over which the reservoir equalizes the flow is shown by the number of years marked on the straight radial lines. Where the
absolute
  minimum stream flow is known to be greater
than the minimum of icubic foot per second per woo acres (ro8gallons
per acre per day) assumed in the
diagram
 , the capacity of the reservoir as taken from the
diagram
  may be reduced by the amount corresponding to that minimum flow for the particular rainf aU and evaporation.
