I have a DEM of a basin and am assuming that the basin is water tight. I need to calculate the water level when a certain volume of water is released into the basin. I have ArcGIS Advanced with spatial analyst and 3d Analyst.
Has anyone the correct methodology for such an analysis?
See My reply on this link, and download the attachment. that maybe help you.

Hello,
We've recently released a new tool with the Spatial Analyst Supplemental Toolbox. This tool is called Storage Capacity. This blog post describes the features & offerings of this tool.
Once you have a basin delineated from your DEM, you can use the Storage Capacity tool to obtain an Elevation - Volume relationship as a table output. Using this relationship, you can obtain the water level (or elevation) for a given volume of water in a basin.
Thanks,
Neeraj
