Short summary
Dams significantly change river flows, yet they are difficult to represent in global hydrological models. We tested four different modeling methods using data from 164 reservoirs to find the most effective approach. We found that tracking water storage is better than tracking outflow for predicting reservoir behavior. This discovery enables the use of satellite information for better water management. These improvements are being implemented in the European and Global Flood Awareness Systems.
