Calculation of filtration in reservoirs

All Over the years, due to long-term operation, the useful volume of the reservoirs decreased. Accurate assessment of the useful volume of water reservoirs, development of specific measures to prevent water wastage is one of the important issues of today. On average, 20-30% of the water volume is lost from the reservoir in one year through filtration, which is one of the main factors affecting the water wastage of reservoirs. If water waste is not taken into account, if a special volume of water is not reserved, then consumers will not be able to get the amount of water intended for them (for production purposes). In this article, the method of calculating the volume of water lost to filtration from flow-through reservoirs is presented on the example of the Rezaksoy reservoir, and a new link on filtration calculation is proposed based on observational data obtained from field studies. The proposed calculation formula was compared with existing calculation formulas and with obtained data in natural field conditions.
