This presentation will describe a simple method which can be used by even the smallest suppliers to develop operating guidelines for their reservoirs. These guidelines will be presented in graphical form as a "reservoir operating curve." This curve can be used to visually track operating levels, and establish "trigger points" at which cut-backs in withdrawals can be made to avoid over-depletion or even emptying of the reservoir.
