Water budget data are: Mean annual rainfall over the region = 38 inches Mean annual watershed runoff = 13 inches Mean annual reservoir evaporation = 49 inches Mean daily withdrawal from reservoir = 100 MGD If the mean Feservoir surface area is 4000 acres, determine: (a) Volume of water evaporated from lake in acre-ft./yr.

1.2 A catchment area of 140 km² received 120 cm of rainfall in a year. At the outlet of the catchment the flow in the stream draining the catchment was found to have an average rate of 2.0 m/s for 3 months, 3.0 m/s for 6 months and 5.0 m/s for 3 months. (i) What is the runoff coefficient of the catchment? (ii) If the afforestation of the catchment re- duces the runoff coefficient to 0.50, what is the increase in the abstraction from precipi- tation due to infiltration, evaporation and transpiration, for the same annual rainfall of 120 cm?
Calculate mass balance for the calculation of change in storage in the reservior? Also calculate the runoff coefficient. Given: watershed area= 4000 km2; precipitation= 102 cm/year; flow of river=34.2 m3/sec; infiltration= 5.5 x 10-7 cm/sec; evapotranspiration= 40 cm/year.
The infiltration capacity of a catchment is represented by Horton's equation as f= 0.5+ 1.2e^-0.5t where f is in cm/hr and t is in hours. Assuming the infiltration to take place at capacity rates in a storm of 4 hours duration, estimate the average rate of infiltration for the duration of the storm.
