Duplicate existing operation set.  Add emergency operation zone to new operation set.  Add induced surcharge rule.  Duplicate alternative.  Change operation set to new set in new alternative.  Edit simulation, adding new alternative.  Update from base.  Analyze difference in operation.

Part A – review Guide Curve operations.  Part B – add an implicit, parallel reservoir system.  Part C – add an implicit, tandem reservoir system.  Part D – add an explicit reservoir system and define the storage balance scheme.  Analyze operations, changes in reservoir storage management and downstream regulation.

Add a power plant and analyze standard operations without energy demand (secondary power production).  Add a scheduled energy requirement to the operations and analyze impact of power requirement on results.  Become familiar with hydropower output options.

Creating If-Then-Else rules. We will start with a watershed that already has a state variable defined. We will use that state variable within the condition of an If block. We will analyze the behavior and influence of the If block on the release decision logic/determination.
