Short summary
Small flood reservoirs are modelled to determine whether they can still provide water for farms and low-flows under uncertain forecasts. Though forecasts did affect how much water was available, reservoirs were still able to provide water for raising river levels and for crops. At the same time, they were able to ensure that flooding conditions were maintained. This shows that such flood reservoirs could be converted into water supply reservoirs to expand water resources in a warming world.
