Infrastructure · synthetic water-balance case
Water · plan cooling through a constrained period
2,700m³ usable storage · covers the calculated crisis balance in the synthetic scenario
Connect cooling demand to available water.
Will the cooling strategy and storage cover a declared period of water constraint? We calculated evaporation, purge, make-up demand and the crisis water balance, connecting the operating assumptions to the available supply.
The initial synthetic scenario has a water shortfall. Raising usable storage to 2,700 m³ brings the calculated balance to a positive margin of 111–664 m³. The result is conditional on the weather assumptions, with the full hourly series still to complete.
The engineering decision
Carry a quantified storage option into the cooling study.
Complete the hourly weather series, then use a common crisis duration to compare less wet cooling, available alternative supply and net storage capacity. Keep site restrictions and operational availability attached to the same scenario.
Method & context
This is a synthetic demonstration. The calculated crisis shortfall remains conditional while the complete weather series is missing. The balance covers evaporation, purge, make-up demand and available water during the declared crisis. Initial calculated margin: −788.87 to −235.75 m³. At 2,700 m³ usable storage, with other inputs retained: +111.13 to +664.25 m³. This is a one-lever comparison; the weather series remains incomplete.
Site-specific supply and restrictions need matching location and date information. The water balance supports an operating study; it does not determine withdrawal authorisation.
