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?

During a month, the average rate of inflow and outflow in a reservoir of surface area of 20 km2 is 10 m3/s and 15 m3/s respectively. The monthly rainfall and seepage loss is 10 cm and 1.8 cm respectively and the change in storage is 16 million m3. Determine the evaporation (in cm) for the month.
The storage in the lake reach 75x103m3 . During that time the inflow is 15 m3 /s and the outflow is 21 m3 /s. after 3 hours the inflow and outflow are 23 m3 /s and 25 m3 /s. determine the ∆? during the 3 hours period and the storage volume after another 3 hours.

Pls answer number 3
Estimate the constant flow rate of withdrawal from a 15 km² reservoir in a month (30days) during which the reservoir level dropped by 1 m despite an average inflow into the reservoir of 0.95 * 10 m³ /day. During the month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 4.5cm, the total precipitation on the reservoir was 19.5cm, and the total evaporation was 7.5cm.
a. What is the inflow? b. What is the outflow?
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?
The town of Viracocha discharges 17,360 m³/day of treated wastewater into the Pachacamac Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12/day at 10 °C. Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Compute the DO and the initial ultimate BOD, Lo, after mixing. Draw the Mass Balance Diagram.
