2. Farmer has a banana farm with an area of 8500 m² that harvests 9000 kg of banana fruit per month. The farm technician measures the average rainfall and it is 150 cm/yr. The farmer wants to make a sustainable farm in terms of water supply, hence he catches 50% of rainfall in an impoundment tank and the rest percolates into the ground. 65% of the impounded water is used for watering that percolates into the ground and the rest of the water evaporates. Every day they sprinkled water from the impoundment tank and dug wells. Of the dug well water, 85% evaporates and the remainder percolates back into the ground. (Steady State Condition) 1. What is the volume of rainfall in the banana farm? 2.Volume of water in the impoundment tank 3.Volume of water from the well 4. Volume of water that evapotranspirate from the well 5. Total Volume of water that repercolates into the ground
