A small drainage basin has an area of 8.7 km² and received 640 mm of precipitation in a given year. In the same year, the stream draining this basin had an average discharge of 1.3 x 106 m³ /yr. The basin has one inlet stream with an average annual discharge of 2.9 cfs and that there has been no change in water stored within the basin. Given that 1cfs= 0.028316847m³/s, compute the annual evaporation from the basin in m³ /yr
The monthly pan evaporation measured in a lake for the month of January was 16.7 cm. If the average water surface area is 2.55 sq.km, estimate the evaporation loss that month in cubic meters if the pan coefficient is 0.70?

Flow rate in a stream discharging water shed runoff is 50 cubic meters per second after five days without rain. The flow rate in the stream reaches half that amount after 20 days without rain. Determine the equation of basal flow hydrograph. Find the amount of flow rate after a period of six months in the watercourse.
Question 03 In a given year, a catchment with an area of 9536 km? received 1.3 m of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in a river draining the catchment was 30 m³s1. a. How much total river runoff occurred in the year (in m³)? b. What is the runoff coefficient? c. How much water is lost due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration. (Express in m).
Compute the diameter (cm) of the outfall required to drain storm water from the watershed described in figure below. Use rainfall intensity = 4 cm/hr. Average velocity of flow is 1 m/s. Other data are for: Area 1: C=0.5, area=0.005 km2. Area 2: C=0.4, area =0.01 km2. Area 3: C=0.7, area=0.015 km2.
The parameters of the Horton equation are fo = 7(cm/st), fc = 1 (cm/st) and the coefficient k = 4 (1/st¹). Accordingly, the total water leaking from an area of 2 ha to the ground in a day (24 hours) find its volume.
It is required to find the maximum flow rate to be used in the design for the rainwater system to be built in an area of 3.2 km2. 50% of the said area can be considered as settlement, 25% as industry, 10% as grassland and 15% as roads. Calculate the desired flow using the rational formula. The maximum possible daily precipitation in the region is 144 kg/m². Explain your suggestions on how to make your result more reliable.

9.4. A small farm reservoir behaves as two identical CFSTRs in series. Flow into the reservoir consists of runoff from pasture land having an average BOD, of 50 g/m³ and an average flow rate of 0.5 m³/s. Volume of the reservoir is 2.16 x 106 m³. If k = 0.2 d-¹ and k, = 0.35 d-¹ at 20°C, determine the dissolved-oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 20°C, the inflow is anaerobic, and steady-state conditions exist.
