# 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).
