Numerical Modelling,f the model is a scaled-down version of the reservoir (made of wood, steel, ., etc.), then water can be introduced and observed and analogies drawn. Numerical modelling is more abstract: the reservoir is represented, not by a physical entity, but by a system of mathematical equations.

The History of Water Supply,ms and barrages to impound a body of freshwater dates back almost 5000 years, this stored water was used primarily for irrigation and as a source of providing water for canal transportation. Only during the time of the Roman Empire and for the last 150 years in modern Europe and America have artific

For many purposes this macroscale view of water is sufficient: it enables the engineer to plan the distribution networks, dams, water treatment works and so on that are necessary for the efficient management of a water resource, so as to meet domestic and industrial demands.

Some biota, such as algae, bacteria and viruses, may affect the water quality directly causing a health hazard; others may simply be a prerequisite for the successful functioning of the ecosystem.
