Initial and Total Groundwater Storage Capacity

The Storage Capacity represents the maximum theoretically accessible capacity of the aquifer, while the Initial Storage is the amount of water initially stored there at the beginning of the first month of the Current Accounts Year. Among other factors, these data will depend on pump depths. Leave Storage Capacity blank to model unlimited capacity.  WEAP maintains a mass balance of monthly inflows and outflows in order to track the monthly groundwater storage volume. WEAP will not allow the storage volume to exceed the storage capacity (any excess will overflow, and be lost from the system).  WEAP will not allow the storage volume to fall below zero (pumping will be restricted or stopped), unless you are linking WEAP to MODFLOW, in which case the storage volume can be negative.
