Reservoir Account Gain Loss
The following Rio Grande-specific Account Gain Loss methods are available on the Reservoirs. The primary purpose of methods in this category is to set the Gain Loss slots on reservoir accounts. They also set values on additional slots as described within each method description.
* Abiquiu, Cochiti, and Jemez Gain Loss
Abiquiu, Cochiti, and Jemez reservoirs each have their own Gain Loss Calculation method; however, all three methods function the same, as described below.
These methods are currently configured to function correctly for 1 Day and 1 Month timesteps only. For these methods to solve for Account Gain Loss, values such as Surface Area, Evaporation and Precipitation Volume must be known (solved for by simulation); therefore, the execution time must be set to After Simulation.
These methods calculate the total San Juan losses as the difference between the Present Condition Loss and the Hypothetical Condition Loss. The Hypothetical Condition represents the state of the reservoir assuming only Rio Grande water is present, with no San Juan water. The total San Juan loss is then distributed to all San Juan accounts proportional to the storage in each account at the end of the previous timestep. This allows the San Juan Storages to solve at the current timestep.
All other loss goes to the Rio Grande accounts. The temporary total Rio Grande loss is calculated as the difference between the Hypothetical Condition Loss and the Pre-Reservoir Condition Loss. If the reservoir has a RioGrandeConservation account, and the account has water, then it takes a fraction of the loss equal to its percentage of total Rio Grande water in the reservoir. All remaining loss goes to the RioGrande account.
This allows RioGrandeConservation.Storage to solve if the reservoir has a RioGrandeConservation account. Then the Gain Loss for the RioGrande account can be calculated.

Method Details  
All three methods—Abiquiu, Cochiti, and Jemez Gain Loss—carry out the following steps.
1. Check for previous Storage and Accrual on all accounts.
2. Call the selected Sediment Transport method to calculate Accumulated Perm Sediment.
Note:  See “Sediment Transport” for a description of the Sediment Transport methods.
3. Get lists of each type of account slot by water type.
4. Register account Inflow and Outflow slots as dependencies.
Calculate Effective Precipitation
For a 1 Month timestep, this can be done based on the Precipitation Volume for the month, which was set in simulation. The Precipitation Volume calculation will already account for Ice Coverage if applicable. For a 1 Day timestep, Effective Precipitation must be calculated using the cumulative sum of Precipitation Rate from the beginning of the month to the current day, and Ice Coverage is included explicitly. At a 1 Month timestep the average surface area is used, whereas the current (end of timestep) surface area is used for a 1 Day timestep.
IF isMonthly
ELSE
END IF
Calculate the evaporation depth and effective precipitation depth to use in loss calculations
For all following calculations, Area values for a 1 Day timestep are current (end of timestep) areas. For a 1 Month timestep, Area values are averages of the end of the previous timestep and end of the current timestep values, similarly for Ice Coverage. If Ice Coverage is not applicable based on the selected evaporation method, it is zero in the calculations below.
If the Surface Area is zero, then evapDepth and effecitvePrecipDepth are zero, and if Ice Coverage is one, then effectivePrecipDepth is zero.
Calculate the individual components of the PreReservoir Condition Loss and the total PreRes Condition Loss
Each of these values is positive for a loss. The PreRes areas are contained in the Control and PreRes Areas table slot. The results of these calculations are set in the PreReservoir Condition table series slot.
Calculate the individual components of the Present Condition Loss and the total Present Condition Loss
Each of these values is positive for a loss. The results of these calculations are set in the Present Condition table series slot.
The netInflowVolume will be negative if there is unidentified loss. If netInflowVolume is positive, then unidentified loss is zero. The Storage Adjustment from Elev Vol Table Change component is only included if the Time Varying Elevation Volume method is selected for the Sediment category.
unidentifiedLoss will be positive for a loss.
Sum the Rio Grande and San Juan previous storages and Rio Grande Transfers to use in loss calculations
rioGrandeStorages, sanJuanStorages, and sanJuanPassThruStorages are lists of storage slots on all accounts with the specified water type.
rioGrandeTransfersIn and rioGrandeTransersOut are lists of Transfer slots on all accounts with the RioGrande water type.
Set the Seed Value for rioGrande Storage Iterative Loop
Carry out the rioGrande Storage iterative loop until the Rio Grande storage converges
To carry out Carry out the rioGrande Storage iterative loop until the Rio Grande storage converges, you must do the following in the order indicated:
1. Calculate the Hypothetical Condition Loss. See “Calculate the Hypothetical Condition Loss”.
2. Distribute San Juan gains/losses. See “Distribute San Juan Gains and Losses”.
3. Test for convergence. See “Test for convergence”.
Calculate the Hypothetical Condition Loss
This is the loss assuming only Rio Grande water in the reservoir, no San Juan water. These results are set in the Hypothetical Condition table series slot. Losses here are positive values.
Distribute San Juan Gains and Losses
The total Gain/Loss allocated to San Juan storage accounts is the difference between the Present Condition Loss and the Hypothetical Condition Loss. A positive value for each of these components represents a loss. In the Gain Loss slot on each account, a positive value represents a gain, and a negative value represents a loss. Thus the negative of the difference is taken before distributing the loss to the Gain Loss slot. The loss is distributed based on the contributing percentage of the total storage at the end of the previous timestep. If the total San Juan storage at the end of the previous timestep was zero, then the Gain Loss is zero for all accounts.
for all San Juan accounts
This allows the San Juan accounts to solve for Storage. The sum of all San Juan storages can then be used to calculate the total Rio Grande storage.
The AccumPermSediment is calculated by the selected method in the Sediment Transport category, and the value is set in the Est Sed Deposition table series slot.
Test for convergence
If totalRioGrandeStorage is zero, then prevTotalRioGrandeStorage is used in the denominator. If both are zero, then epsilon is zero. The iterative loop repeats until the absolute value of epsilon is less than the specified tolerance in the Convergence Percentage slot or the maximum number of iterations is reached.
Calculate the Physical Model Net Loss and the Net Loss Adjustment
Note:  These values are used for reporting only. They are not used in later calculations.
A positive value for Physical Model Net Loss represents a loss.
A negative value for totalSanJuanGainLoss represents a loss.
A positive value for totalRioGrandeLossTemp represents a loss.
Calculate actual Rio Grande losses
If there is a RioGrandeConservation account, then the Rio Grande Losses are divided proportionally between the RioGrande account and the RioGrandeConservation account (details below). If there is no RioGrandeConservation account, then all RioGrandeConservation values in the steps below are zero.
IF , then .
If the reservoir is Locked In (indicated by a value of 1 in the Locked In slot), a percentage of the Rio Grande loss is allocated to the Carryover Content, proportional to the percent contribution to total Rio Grande storage. If the reservoir is not locked in, all Carryover values are zero.
Note:  Carryover Content is not a slot on the accounts but is a separate slot Carryover Content on the reservoir object.
IF

END IF
All other Rio Grande losses and storage go to the Incidental pool.
Adjust the temporary loss values, if necessary, according to the logic below before setting final slot values
If totalRioGrandeLossTemp is negative, representing a gain, then the gain is either divided proportionally between the Conservation and Incidental pools (if the Conservation Gain Switch is “On”), or the entire gain goes to the Incidental Pool.

* Elephant Butte and El Vado Gain Loss
Elephant Butte and El Vado reservoirs each have their own Gain Loss Calculation method. The Elephant Butte Loss with RG Compact method can also be selected. All three methods function the same, with a few small exceptions, as described below.
These methods are currently configured to function correctly for 1 Day and 1 Month timestep sizes only. In order for these methods to solve for Account Gain Loss, values such as Surface Area, Evaporation and Precipitation Volume must be know (solved for by simulation); therefore, the execution time must be set to After Simulation.
These methods calculate the total San Juan losses as the difference between the Present Condition Loss and the Hypothetical Condition Loss. The Hypothetical Condition represents the state of the reservoir assuming only Rio Grande water is present, with no San Juan water. The total San Juan loss is then distributed to all San Juan accounts proportional to the storage in each account at the end of the previous timestep. This allows the San Juan Storages to solve at the current timestep.

Method Details 
The Nambe Falls Gain Loss method carries out the following steps.
1. Check for previous Storage and Accrual on all accounts.
2. Get lists of each type of San Juan account slot.
Calculate effective precipitation
For a 1 Month timestep, this can be done based on the Precipitation Volume for the month, which will have been set in simulation. The Precipitation Volume calculation will already account for Ice Coverage if applicable. For a 1 Day timestep, Effective Precipitation must be calculated using the cumulative sum of Precipitation Rate from the beginning of the month to the current day, and Ice Coverage is included explicitly. At a 1 Month timestep the average surface area is used, whereas the current (end of timestep) surface area is used for a 1 Day timestep.
IF isMonthly
ELSE
END IF
Calculate the evaporation depth and effective precipitation depth to use in loss calculations
For all following calculations, Area values for a 1 Day timestep are current (end of timestep) areas. For a 1 Month timestep, Area values are averages of the end of the previous timestep and end of the current timestep values, similarly for Ice Coverage. If Ice Coverage is not applicable based on the selected evaporation method, it is zero in the calculations below.
If the Surface Area is zero, then evapDepth and effecitvePrecipDepth are zero, and if Ice Coverage is one, then effectivePrecipDepth is zero.
Calculate the individual components of the PreReservoir Condition Loss and the total PreRes Condition Loss
Each of these values is positive for a loss. The PreRes areas are contained in the Control and PreRes Areas table slot. The results of these calculations are set in the PreReservoir Condition table series slot.
Calculate the individual components of the Present Condition Loss and the total Present Condition Loss
Each of these values is positive for a loss. The results of these calculations are set in the Present Condition table series slot.
The netInflowVolume will be negative if there is unidentified loss. If netInflowVolume is positive, then unidentified loss is zero. The Storage Adjustment from Elev Vol Table Change component is only included if the Time Varying Elevation Volume method is selected for the Sediment category.
unidentifiedLoss will be positive for a loss.
Distribute San Juan gains/losses
The total Gain/Loss allocated to San Juan storage accounts is the difference between the Present Condition Loss and the PreReservoir Condition Loss. A positive value for each of these components represents a loss. In the Gain Loss slot on each account, a positive value represents a gain, and a negative value represents a loss. Thus the negative of the difference is taken before distributing the loss to the Gain Loss slot. The loss is distributed based on the contributing percentage of the total storage at the end of the previous timestep. If the total San Juan storage at the end of the previous timestep was zero, then the Gain Loss is zero for all accounts.
sanJuanStorages and sanJuanPassThruStorages are lists of storage slots on all accounts with the San Juan water type.
This will allow the San Juan accounts to solve for storage.
Calculate the Physical Model Net Loss and the Net Loss Adjustment
A positive value for Physical Model Net Loss represents a loss. A negative value for totalSanJuanLosses represents a loss.
Calculate the Operational Release, Irrigation Release and Storage Replacement
If the reservoir elevation was increasing or if the reservoir was spilling, the change in storage is counted as risingChangeStorage otherwise it is droppingChangeStorage.
Note:  For these calculations, if the reservoir changes conditions within the month (rising to dropping or dropping to rising) the results at a 1 Month timestep will not necessarily match the monthly aggregate of results from a 1 Day timestep.
IF OR
ELSE
END IF
If the reservoir was not spilling at the end of the timestep but was spilling at the start, then these values need to be modified.
IF AND
END IF
IF Augmented Release Switch = 1
ELSE
END IF

* Heron Gain Loss
This method calculates the Gain Loss for accounts on the Heron Reservoir. The method is currently configured to function correctly for 1 Day and 1 Month timestep sizes only.
This method requires simulation to have solved for Storage, Evaporation and Precipitation Volume; therefore, the execution time must be set to After Simulation.
The Gain Loss for the RioGrande account is set equal to seepage.
This allows the RioGrande account to solve for storage. All other gains/losses go to the FederalSanJuan account. The Gain Loss for all other accounts with the SanJuan water type is set to zero.
sanJuanStorages and sanJuanOutflows lists of the Outflow and Storage slots on all accounts with the San Juan water type.
