When you create and save restrictions for Water Restriction Groups, the restricted orders are made available for stored water redistribution. Click the  **Redistribute Stored Water** button on the Rationing Schematic toolbar to open the Stored Water Distribution screen.

# When are Orders Topped Up?

Orders can be topped up from available stored water.

When an irrigator places an order, they must specify the minimum percentage of their original order that they are prepared to accept by setting a **Volume Reduction Percentage** threshold for the order. If the total volume of a restricted order falls below this value, the order can be topped up until the acceptable percentage is reached. Otherwise, the order is not topped up.

By default, the volume reduction percentage is set to zero which means that no stored water is used.

See <u>[Calculations for Rationing](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PNC/pages/2051900069)</u> for a worked example.

To confirm the stored order redistribution

1. Check the orders in the **Stored Water Distribution** screen.
2. Click the **Confirm** button to apply any stored water usage.
