A watershed with an area of 2500 km2 received 1.3 m of precipitation over the course of a year. The average rate of flow measured in a river draining the watershed was 30 m3/sec. • How much total runoff occurred in the year (in m3)? • How much water was lost due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration during the year (in m)?
