    Tracking water levels in a reservoir

    OK. This one is tough, and I'm not sure if I'm posting it in a right place. Maybe I need a macro or VB programming, but let's hope that formula can help.
    Please see an example worksheet attached.

    I'm tracking water levels in a reservoir. There are 4 input columns, and 2 that I have to calculate.
    Input columns:
    -date
    -water inflow (m3)
    -water withdrawal from a reservoir (m3)
    -reservoir capacity (limit that's changing)

    I'd like to track a water level in a reservoir, and amount of water overflowing the reservoir, so the level is limited (capped) with capacity, and when capacity is reached, water is overflowing the reservoir.

    If anyone can figure out a formula for at least a column E (water level), that would be really helpful.

    Thanks a lot.

    for column e

    MIN(d2,SUM($B$1:B2)-SUM($C$1:C2))
