\nTotal Inflow: m³/year
\nTotal Outflow: m³/year
\nVolume Change: m³/year
\n \nCalculations
\nVolume =
\nInflow =
\nOutflow =
\nResidence Time = Volume / ((Inflow + Outflow) / 2)
\n \nAssumptions
\nThis calculation assumes a steady-state system where inflow and outflow are constant over time. For transient systems, more complex models are required.

It is calculated by dividing the volume of water in the reservoir by the average inflow or outflow rate.
