Hydrological calculations in hydroelectric power generation

area.vol(xav)
model.flow(mf)
flow.plot(flow, label)
flow.exc.plot(flow, exc, label)
exceed(flow)
annual.avg(mf, nyrs)

`xav`	area.vol is a list(H,B,W,L) H pool elevation (m), B bottom elevation (m), W width (km), L tail length (km)
`mf`	list(base.flow,peak.flow,day.peak,length.season,variab,coef)
`flow`	flow time series resulting from model.flow
`label`	label for flow
`exc`	exceedance levels as a result of exceed
`nyrs`	number of years

Basic hydrological calculations for hydropower

`X`	list(y,proby, prob, Q, Prob.Qmean, prob.Q)
`flow`	flow time series from model.flow
`Xtm`	annual avg of flow time series from model.flow
