Question

In a flow-mass curve study, the demand line drawn from a ridge does not intersect the mass curve again. This implies that

• A. the reservoir is not full at the beginning
• B. the storage is not adequate
• C. the demand cannot be met by the inflow as the reservoir will not refill
• D. the reservoir is wasting water by spill

Answer 1

The correct option is C the demand cannot be met by the inflow as the reservoir will not refill

In case the demand line drawn from a ridge does not intersect the mass curve again, it means the rate of inflow is less than or equal to rate of demand. So, the reservoir will not be refilled and the demand cannot be met by the inflow.
