The plan area of a reservoir is 1 km². The water level in the reservoir is observed to decline by20 cm in a certain period. During this period the reservoir receives a surface inflow of 10 hectare-meters, and 20 hectare-meters are abstracted from the reservoir for irrigation and power. The pan evaporation and rainfall recorded during the same period at a near by meteorological station are 12 cm and 3 cm respectively. The calibrated pan factor is 0.7. The seepage loss from the reservoir during this period in hectare-meters is

A 1220 mm-diameter ISI pan, with a depth of 255 mm, was fully filled and was used to simulate the evaporation rate of a reservoir with a surface area of 230 hectares. After 24 hours, the depth of the water dropped 7 mm. What is the daily evaporation of the reservoir and the water evaporated from the reservoir for a month (1 month = 30 days).
A swimming pool (5 m x 8 m x 3.5 m) has a small leak at the bottom. You are provided with measurements on rainfall, evaporation, and water level on a daily basis for 10 days. As an engineering technologist, use the water balance to determine the average daily leakage out of the swimming pool in litres per day. Assume the pool is exactly 3.5 m deep on day 1.

The infiltration rate for excess rain on a small area was observed to be 11.43 cm/h at the beginning of rain and it decreased exponentially toward an equilibrium of 1.27 cm/hr. A total of 0.76 m of water infiltrated during a 10 hours interval. Calculate the value of k in Horton's equation.
During a particular 30-days period, the streamflow flowing into a reservoir averaged 5.0 cubic meter per second. Water supply withdrawals from the reservoir averaged 136 mgd (million gallon per day). The only other outflow from the reservoir was 9.4 cm of evaporation from the reservoir water surface. The average water surface area of the reservoir during the 30 days was 3.75 sq.km. The reservoir had 12,560 ac-ft of water in storage at the beginning of the 30-days period. Determine the storage content at the end of the 30 days in units cu.m.
