Abstract

The nonlinear storage equation to arbitrary inflow rates is solved for the outflow time-series by recursively employing the analytical solution of the linear storage equation evaluated at each time-increment with an updated storage coefficient value. As the procedure is fully analytical it avoids any problems a numerical solution may present.
