This release features the following changes:

  1. The volume of lakes and reservoirs is correctly updated when water is abstracted for anthropogenic use.

  2. The initialization run (or prerun; activated by switching on the "InitLisflood" option) implements a consistent solution throughout the code for the water abstraction module. As in v.4.0.1, the warm start of the initialization run is fully functional.

  3. A hot fix to prevent the warm start (i.e. restarting from a previous state) to occasionally fail due to small approximation errors (order of magnitude: 10exp-12) when writing and reading the state files.

The changes (1) and (2) of this release have impacts on the results of LISFLOOD-OS when the following three optional modules are simultaneously activated: reservoirs, lakes, water use.
The magnitude of the impact of the above changes mainly depends on the magnitude of the water demand for energy use, and on the extent of the rice fields within the modelled area.
