Question
A lake has a surface area of 2.6 mi² (6.7 km²) and an average depth of 23 feet (7.0 m). It has one inlet stream with an average discharge of 15.3 ft3/second (0.433 m³/sec) and one outlet stream with an average discharge of 13.9 ft /second (0.394 m³/sec). (a) Compute the volume of the lake. (b) Estimate the average residence time for water in the lake. (c) Consider the water balance for the lake. Name additional possi- ble terms in the balance aside from those listed above. What can you conclude about the total of these other terms?
