rippl: Rippl's method

Description

Computes the Rippl-no-failure storage for given set of discharges and target.

Usage

rippl(discharge,target,plot=TRUE)

Arguments

discharge

a vector of natural discharge at the reservoir site.

target

a vector of demand time series with length equal that of discharge. If the time scale doesn't match, the target will be cycled or truncated.

plot

logical: whether plot the Rippl's method process or merely report the result.

Value

no-failure storage value for the given time series, discharge and target.
