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.
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 an average surface area of 20 km² during September 2008. In that month, the mean rate of inflow is 10 m³/s, outflow is 15 m³/s, monthly rainfall is 10 cm and change in storage is 16 Mm³. Assuming the seepage losses to be 1.8 cm, estimate the evaporation in that month.

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
A given storage reservoir has a normal pool area of 4,000 acres and serves a drainage area of 200 mi2 (i.e. the 4,000 acre reservoir is within the 200 mi2 watershed). During an average year, rainfall is 37 in, runoff is 10 in, and reservoir evaporation is 30 in. Determine the net change in storage of the reservoir during the year if a local municipality is allowed to take 100 MGD from the reservoir. You may neglect infiltration and see page from the reservoir. Express your answer in acre-ft.
The level of water in the reservoir is 1.25 m. If there is a rainfall of 38 cm occurring in a month, during this period evaporation as measured by the class A pan is 32 cm. What is the level of water in m at the end of the month.
Please provide an explanation for evry formula and solution. And be clear with your answer. In 1997, Upper Grand watershed near Maputi, Bukidnon with an area of 4350 sq.km received 77.7 cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in the Grand River, which drained the watershed, was 39.6 cu.m/s. Infiltration was estimated to occur at an average rate of 9.2 x 10-7 cm/s. Evapotranspiration was estimated to be 45 cm/yr. What is the change in storage in the watershed in cm/yr. Also, calculate the runoff coefficient for this watershed.
There is a reservoir covering a 500-hectare area that has a constant draft of water pumped from it. The reservoir has a constant inflow from an upstream watershed, where the annual rainfall is 550 mm and the annual runoff is 312 mm. Over a 30-day period, the reservoir depth drops 9.5 m. During this time, there was precipitation over the reservoir of 87 mm and the total evaporation was 73 mm. What is the daily draft of water from the reservoir (in hectare-meters)?
A drainage basin has a area of 7322 km2. The average annual precipitation for this area is 909 mm. The average surface water flow at the outlet of the catchment is 21.4 x 108 m3/year and the average groundwater flow out of the basin is 94.6 mm/year. Assume trailing zeros are significant if present. Determine the annual average evaporation in mm/year. (give your answer to one decimal place)
