Probability, risk and uncertainty analysis for hydrological design

It gives a framework that is financially critical for finding the exceptional designs of hydrological systems with a reduced cost in total inclusive of the project cost and the disaster mitigation cost. But there would be hardly any assessment of a decent quality damage function. Hence, errors in demonstrating the hydrologic events, incorrect model parameters, and so on may occur. Here, we will discuss a specific hydrological design that of a detention basin for studying and understanding the risk-based procedure, uncertainties, and probability analysis by following a systematic framework.

As a common tropical climate in Malaysia, heat and drought seasons will occur at a certain time, which also carries the heat wave phenomena. During this period, the amount of rainfall events is lesser and the evaporation process will take place at a higher rate than usual. Thus affects the available water storage of main catchment areas. As a knowledgeable hydrologist, this rate of evaporation is driven by several factors. Briefly explain on how the water quality, atmospheric pressure and water depth parameters may affect on the evaporation

Assume trailing zeros are significant if present. Determine the annual average evaporation in mm/year. (give your answer to one decimal place)
During a particular 30-days period, the streamflow flowing into a reservoir averaged 5.0 cubic meter per second. Water supply withdrawals from the reservoir averaged 136 mgd (million gallon per day). The only other outflow from the reservoir was 9.4 cm of evaporation from the reservoir water surface. The average water surface area of the reservoir during the 30 days was 3.75 sq.km. The reservoir had 12,560 ac-ft of water in storage at the beginning of the 30-days period. Determine the storage content at the end of the 30 days in units cu.m.
