6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
If the Kuils River has a catchment area of 200 square kilometres and receives in a year 600 mm/year of rainfall, and the runoff from this catchment is 100 mm/year. Assuming that there is no loss to or gain of water from subsurface storage, the amount of evaporation isA) 400 mm/year, B) 500 mm/year, C) 300 mm/year D) 900 mm/year

Question- A peak flow of a flood hydrograph due to a 6 hour storm is 470 m³/s. The corresponding average depth of rainfall is 8 cm. Assume an Infiltration loss of 0.25 cm/hour and a constant base flow of 15 m³/s. What is the peak discharge of 6 hour unit hydrograph for this Catchment?
Solve the problem using the NRCS method for a watershed located right outside New York City, New York for a 50 year storm event. Assume the soil hydrologic group B (65%), C (25%) and D (10%). Given Am-1.29 sm. Impervious = 6.6 acres, Woods =819 acres. Overland flow: L=100 ft, s=4%, fair; Shallow Concentrated Flow: unpaved L= 2300 ft, s=2.7%, stream flow L=9000 ft, s= 3.4% The Time of Concentration is 20¹ 12¹ n = 0.035
Please answer question 2
The table below shows the monthly data for the catchment area.a. Compute the annual catchment volume in km3b. Determine the month where the catchment volume is the highest.c. What is the highest monthly catchment volume in km3.
A reservoir had a water surface elevation of 110 m above the datum at the beginning of the month. In the same month, the reservoir received an average inflow of 7.5 cms (m3/s) from surface runoff sources. For the same period, the outflow from the reservoir had an average value of 5 cms. Further, in the same month, the reservoir received a rainfall of 180 mm and losses due to evaporation of 5 cm. Assume the area of the lake is 50 km2 acres and assume no contribution from groundwater storage. What is the water surface elevation of the reservoir after the month?
