Reservoir Release to a Diversion or Reservoir by a carrier (ityopr=3)

The type 3 operating rule provides a method to release water to a reservoir or direct flow structure by a conduit (e.g. a pipeline or canal that flows directly from a reservoir to a user) rather than the river. In addition, it can be used to constrain a diversion to the capacity of up to 10 intervening structures or carriers. Note a diversion is implicitly constrained by the capacity of the destination structure (variable ciopde, row-data 1-6).
