Simple reservoir model

This simple reserovir model simulates regulated streamflow in a grid-based river network, given naturalized flow (RVIC routed flow). The model simulate reservoir operation at each dam based on:
    - rule curve
    - reservoir capacity
    - reservoir bottom pool storage
    - Minimum allowed release
    - Maximum allowed release
