Simple Pond Water Level Simulation

Hi All

I want to assess the water balance performance of a single pond with a depth of 5 meters and a storage volume of 100 ML. I have a storage curve for the pond from the base up to 5 meters.
I'm considering extending the storage curve beyond 5 meters—up to an arbitrary high level like 999 m—to represent a "glass wall" effect. The reason for this is to determine how high the water level could theoretically rise based on historical rainfall and evaporation data. Are we able to do this in goldsim ? 
Apologies in advance if this doesn't make complete sense.

  I guess I don't completely understand the question.  To do this you would simply 1) implement your extended stage-storage curve; and 2) remove the Upper Bound.  You would then see how high the level could go. Is there a reason this does not solve your problem?
