The function creates n parameter sets using a Latin hypercube. It runs 'CityWaterBalance()' with each set, accepting solutions that meet user-defined criteria for storage balances. It then computes the mean of flow solutions, and doubles n until the difference between the means of old and new solutions is less than tol for all flows. Defaults for parameter value ranges are set to reasonable values, but they should be reconsidered for each application. Defaults for storage balances are set high to allow for solution discovery, however, acceptable values must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
