The water balance is defined by the general hydrologic equation, which is basically a statement of the law of conservation of mass applied to the hydrologic cycle. In its simplest form, this equation reads I = O + ΔS, where I is total inflow, O is total outflow and ΔS is change in storage. A catchment area of 140 km^2 received 120 cm of rainfall 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 m^3/s for 3 months, 3 m^3/s for 6 months and 5 m^3/s for 3 months. What would be the amount of water not available to runoff (for the year) due to the combined effect of infiltration, evaporation and transpiration?
Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes of North America, is also the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area (~ 82,100 km²), and the third largest freshwater lake by volume (~ 12,100 km³). The monthly average precipitation in 2018 in the lake area was 2.69 inches. According to the data provided by USGS water stations, the total flow rate in all the incoming streams was found to be 356,747 ft³/s (cubic feet per second). At the same time, the lake discharges 717,258 ft³/s to its surrounding water bodies. The monthly average evaporation was 18.7 mm. The groundwater inflow was 783.33 km³ less than the groundwater outflow in this year. How would the water level in this lake change in the year of 2018? O Increase by 12.87 m. O Decrease by 12.87 m. O Decrease by 10.56 m. O Increase by 10.56 m.
Water flows at the rate of 182 L/s in a 300 mm diameter pipeline connecting two reservoirs. If the pipe length is 845 m and using f = 0.021, what is the difference in water surface elevation between two reservoirs?

Of the Great Lakes, Lake Saint Clair has an average depth of 3.4 m, a surface area of 1,114 km², and a residence time of 7 days (according to environmental tracers). Lake Michigan has an average depth of 85 m and a surface area of 58,000 km² and a residence time of 99 years. What is the flow through for each of these lakes in m³/day?
Hydrology problem/groundwater
A river reach had a flow wave passing through it. At a given instant the storage of water in the reach was estimated as 155,000 cubic meters (m^3). What would be the storage (S) in the reach an interval of 3 hours if the average inflow and outflow during the period are 14.2 cubic meters per second and 10.6 cubic meters per second, respectively. S = Blank 1 *Note: Answer should be in cubic meters Blank 1 Add your answer
A community needs everyday a discharge of water equal to 310.5 cubic meters per hour for its water supply. If the volume needed per day by the community can be pumped by a pumping system to a storage reservoir through a water main line with an average flow velocity of 1.952 meters per second, what must be the diameter of the water main line if the pumping system will operate only 15 hours per day?
Almost 1 liter per horizontal square meter per millimeter of rainfall. Thus, estimate the quantity of water under a roof of 10 square meter per 750mm annual rainfall.

The volume of irrigation water is usually expressed in acre-feet. One acre-foot is a volume of water sufficient to cover exactly 1 acre of land to a depth of exactly 1 foot (640. acres = 1 mi2). The principal lake in the California Water Project is Lake Oroville, whose water storage capacity is listed as 3.54  106 acre-feet. Express the volume of Lake Oroville in ft3.
