# Measured Daily Outflow

When measured daily outflow (IRESCO = 3) is chosen as the method to calculate reservoir outflow, the user must provide a file with the outflow rate for every day the reservoir is simulated in the watershed. The volume of outflow from the reservoir is then calculated:

           $$V\_{flowout}=86400\*q\_{out}$$                                                     8:1.1.8

       where $$V\_{flowout}$$ is the volume of water flowing out of the water body during the day (m$$^3$$ H$$*2$$O), and $$q*{out}$$ is the outflow rate (m$$^3$$/s).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/theoretical-documentation/section-8-water-bodies/impoundment-water-routing/reservoirs/outflow/measured-daily-outflow.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
