Situation 01. On June 1, 2015, a reservoir had a water elevation located at Sta 0 + 114.43 in reference to a benchmark set at 0 meters. The area of the reservoir is 5120.23 ha. Given the data below, Inflow 6.20 cms per day Outflow 6.63 cms per day Infiltration Loss 0.01 mm Evaporation 6.12 cm Rainfall 152.20 mm Compute the station of the water elevation at the end of that month.
A lake with a surface area of 5km2 had a water surface elevation of 103.2m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 6m³/s from surface runoff source. In the same period the outflow from the lake had an average value of 6.5 m³/s. Further, in that month, the lake received a rainfall of 145mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was estimated as 6.10cm. Calculate the water surface elvation of the lake at the end of the month.

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?
