In a given year, a watershed with an area of 2000 km² received 120cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in a gage at the outlet of the watershed was 30m³/s. Estimate the water losses due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration. How much runoff reached the river for the year (in cm)?
