A retention reservoir is located so that all runoff from upstream catchment area passes through the reservoir. The catchment area (reservoir not included) is 9536/100 ha. The reservoir area is 1.0 ha. Infiltration through the bottom and sides of the reservoir is negligible. The discharge out from the reservoir is regulated at a constant Q = 0.045 cumec. Mean precipitation in July is 178 mm and mean inflow to the reservoir during the same month is 95000 m³. Mean evaporation from the lake surface in the month of July is 3.1 mm/day. a. What is the average July runoff coefficient? b. In July 1991, precipitation was slightly higher than normal, P = 9536/35 mm. what is the total inflow expected the reservoir for this specific month?

A retention reservoir is located so that all runoff from upstream
catchment area passes through the reservoir. The catchment area
(reservoir not included) is 9536/100 ha. The reservoir area is 1.0 ha.
Infiltration through the bottom and sides of the reservoir is negligible.
The discharge out from the reservoir is regulated at a constant Q = 0.045
cumec. Mean precipitation in July is 178 mm and mean inflow to the
reservoir during the same month is 95000 m³. Mean evaporation from
the lake surface in the month of July is 3.1 mm/day.
a. What is the average July runoff coefficient?
b. In July 1991, precipitation was slightly higher than normal, P =
9536/35 mm. what is the total inflow expected the reservoir for this
specific month?
c. What is the expected change in quantity of water of the reservoir
during this month?
