Question
**Problem 1:** A 500 m² botanical garden which harvests 1000 flowers per day of 15 variations, in a year, the average rainfall is 170 cm/yr. With the rainfall, 30% percolates into the ground and the rest are harvested in a spherical cistern. 35% of the cistern water is used for watering that percolates into the ground and the rest of the water evaporates. Every day they sprinkle water from the cistern and dug wells. Of the dug well water, 75% evaporates and the remainder percolates back into the ground. (Steady State Condition) a. What is the volume of rainfall in the botanical garden? b. Volume of water in the cistern c. Volume of water from the well d. Volume of water that evapotranspirates from the well e. Total volume of water that percolates into the ground
