Whilst there are numerous global and regional studies of climate impacts on water resources, relatively few authors have incorporated reservoir storage into their earth system models. Consequently, such studies are unlikely to provide coherent estimates of how changes in climate might affect water supplies globally. This short communication describes an R package, named reservoir, which has been designed for rapid and easy routing of runoff data through storage. The package comprises tools for capacity design, release policy optimisation and performance analysis allowing users to specify realistic reservoirs and then assess performance in terms of meeting water delivery targets. We demonstrate some of the capabilities of reservoir using 271 runoff records from the Global Runoff Data Centre. The package is freely available through the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN).
