Choose a System Storage Balance option from the drop-down list. Its description will appear in the editable Description field, and the available System Storage Zones will appear in the white pane on the left side of the editor window.
In the "Figure: Configuring System Storage Balance", the System Storage Balance field indicates we are using a System Storage Balance called "Parallel SysOp_MyTown," and there are two System Storage Zones, "Flood Control" and "Conservation."
Click on a System Storage Zone in the white pane on the left side of the editor window to select it. Its name and description will appear to the right in the editable System Storage Zone name (as shown below).
In "Figure: Configuring System Storage Balance", "Flood Control" is selected, so its name and description appear in the System Storage Zone and Description fields. For the selected zone ("Flood Control" in this example), in the list beneath each reservoir name, select a reservoir zone for each reservoir in the system. In "Figure: Configuring System Storage Balance", there are two reservoirs in the system, and we have chosen the "Flood Control" zone for each reservoir.
In the table below the reservoir operation sets, enter percentages of system storage zones for each reservoir, as shown in "Figure: Percent Storage for each Reservoir in a Two-Reservoir System". These storage percentages represent inflection points along the balance line curve, which delineates how the reservoirs will balance when system operations are performed.

Click Apply to save your changes.
Repeat the process for each System Storage Zone you have created. For example, "Figure: Configuring System Storage Balance", once you have configured the "Flood Control" System Storage Zone, you would want to configure the reservoir system balance for the "Conservation" System Storage Zone.
If you wish to configure additional storage balance options, click Apply to save your changes for the current storage balance option, then select another storage balance option from the System Storage Balance list.
When you have finished configuring your system storage balance, click OK to close the Reservoir System Editor.
