Problem 11.6: The following crops will be cultivated with the indicated areal percentages; cotton (30%), corn (30%), and wheat (40%). The area lies at 36°N latitude. No precipitation is observed in July. Maximum water table elevation is 1.2 m below the ground surface after each irrigation. The minimum readily available moisture in the root zone is estimated to be 60 mm. Taking D=9 m, t=20°C, determine the value of L. Assume that wheat has the same crop coefficient as corn. Take K=1 m/day, u=0.10, d-2 m, h=0.4 m, ro-0.1 m. Answer: L-66 m

1. On January 1, a lake with a surface area of 10,000 hectares has a water surface elevation of 50.15 m above the elevation datum. During the month of January, the average inflow to the lake is 10.0 m³/s and the average outflow from the lake is 8.5 m³/s. Total rainfall and evaporation are 30.0 cm and 5.0 cm, respectively. Assume that there is no infiltration or groundwater discharge. Write the hydrologic budget for the lake and calculate its water surface elevation (in m above the elevation datum) at the end of January. Round to the nearest hundredth of a meter.
3. Mangla Lake had a water surface level of 650 m above a datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 250 cumecs. There was an outflow of 150 cumecs. In the same month, the lake received a rainfall of 150 mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was 5 cm. Using hydrologic equation, estimate the water surface elevation of the lake at the end of the month. Assume the lake surface area as 450 hectares and that there was no contribution to or from the groundwater storage.
