印第安纳波利斯供水公司对其水库供水进行了彻底研究，以评估其供水系统的可靠性。尽管多年来，由于泥沙淤积，水库蓄水量损失了10%以上，但研究发现，如果充分利用可用蓄水量，并协调三座水库的运行排放，可用原水量可以增加近四分之一。一项持续的监测和检查计划确保其中两座水库的大坝结构保持完好。聘请顾问审查蓄水量、可靠产量和大坝安全的成本估计仅为建造新地表水源成本的1%。图7包括参考文献。

The Indianapolis Water Company conducted a thorough study of its reservoir supplies to assess the reliability of its water supply system. Although more than 10 percent of reservoir storage capacity had been lost over the years because of sedimentation, it was found that the amount of raw water available could be increased by almost one fourth if the available storage was fully utilized and the operational releases from the three reservoirs were coordinated. An ongoing monitoring and inspection program ensures that dams at two of the reservoirs remain structurally sound. The cost of retaining consultants to review storage volumes, dependable yields, and dam safety was estimated to be only 1 percent of the cost of constructing new sources of surface water supply.
