Sure after my computer returns from repairs.

can we get a save file of this? id like to actually see it in action and make sure i understand how to build something like this. great work by the way

so great.

Well, in the current save they're holding with the standard 0.5m opening despite 1200 beavers O_O Main drain is water needs of course, but I'm shifting over to dedicated cisterns where possible and will build them for all main centres in future where possible.

You should give it a try just make sure the lower dams are big enough to hold against evaporation

Hellos, thanks for this again, it gave me the idea to place one floodgate lower than the others on my upper reservoir which with the current blasting out of the basin should give me easily 9 days+ of storage. I think it's a viable way to pull off smaller 4 level reservoirs that can use all 4 levels of water, but didn't run into a another drought while playing before dawn to test it...

Cheers, and here's the set up I'm using: https://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623450267 Usually has about 6-8 days of storage, but only if I cut off the reservoir bellow it, which feeds an irrigation canal and a cistern. Definitely not as large as the one you were using though, but if I'd turned that whole corner of the map into 1 big dam I'd probably get a similar result to your dam if my mental modelling serves me right.

In fact, a rough estimate I loses 3m in 10 days, while is should at least last 30 days via evaporation. Its wasn't as good as a multi stage damming in terms of storage, as it provides constant flow(highly restricted) into the drought days.

Yes, we might need to reduce the amount of dam blocks as we go upwards to further restrict the flow.

yes ideally, the higher you go the larger the volume pooled, and more effective it will be. But the fill rate is always an issue, in fact that is why I use a two stage for the lower 3m for redundancy.
