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.

Question

A basin with 175 square km area receives 110 cm of rainfall per year. The mean annual flow from the basin is 2.5 cubic meters per second. What is the average annual evapotranspiration in cm/year?

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

There is a reservoir covering a 500-hectare area that has a constant draft of water pumped from it. The reservoir has a constant inflow from an upstream watershed, where the annual rainfall is 550 mm and the annual runoff is 312 mm. Over a 30-day period, the reservoir depth drops 9.5 m. During this time, there was precipitation over the reservoir of 87 mm and the total evaporation was 73 mm. What is the daily draft of water from the reservoir (in hectare-meters)?
