STP stands for Scenario Tables Pool. The idea is, that all modelling results for resources and demands are stored in the STP, which is a part of the central ORACLE database (WIS). From there, the data are available for balancing.
Data are stored as monthly volumes im m³.
The STP contains both historic data and projected data. The months are counting from the start of the hydrological year: Month 1 means October. The years are the hydrological years, year 1998 would be year 1997/98, from October 1997 to September 1998.
Note: currently, each year in the STP tables contains 15 months, from October to December and again from January to December.
The projected data are for the years 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040. For the natural resources as well as for irrigation demand tables, also the hydrological condition (dry, medium wet year) is indicated.
The following STP tables are read by the DVS:
For irrigation demands:
For non-irrigation demands:
For natural resources:
For man-made resources:
For transfers:
In addition, to recall the assumptions on population development, table
should be introduced. Presently, the population forecasts are still read from Excel tables (prepared by the JICA study team) and not from WIS.
