Description

I got this idea while hiking. I watched the inflow of several small streams into a reservoir. When I started this project, the Lake Oroville situation was in the news. Also, the reservoir is not able to go above 100% like Lake Oroville did. If your numbers get near 100% on the full dial, I would recommend changing stream and river powers unless you want to see what happens when the lake level gets too high. Please tell me if you discover any bugs.

Instructions

Press play to begin. Use the "river" and "stream power" sliders to control the inflow into the lake. Try to not let the reservoir fall apart! Lake level change tells you how fast the lake level is changing. For example, "3" for lake level change means that the lake gets 3% higher every 1.5 seconds. % full tells you how high the lake is. This is a simulation, not a game, so you don't win or lose no matter what happens.
