Changes in the hydrologic cycle in different parts of the world can cause new water management problems that we did not have to solve before. In some areas of the world such changes may lead to the more frequent occurrence of extreme floods, while other parts of the world may be afflicted by the increased incidence of periods of drought. One of the ways of preventing or completely avoiding the appearance of these problems is the re-evaluation of the size of the storage and protective capacity of existing reservoirs. In this paper a program is described which can be used in practice to design the storage capacities of newly proposed reservoirs or in the reassessment of the storage capacities of existing reservoirs. The program is written for general use; i.e., users can simply utilise code numbers in the program's interactive graphical user interface to enter any configuration they require for the system being dealt with. The user interface allows the modification of relevant parts of the source code (the criterial function, the rules controlling a system of reservoirs). As a demonstration of functionality the program is applied to a selected water supply subsystem.
