Subject: Hydrology. I just need help regarding part c)

 

part a) is 46.9 * 10^6 m^3 for the volume 

part b) is Residence Time (Tr) = 38.1 yrs

. A lake has a surface area of 2.6 mi² (6.7 km²) and an average depth
of 23 feet (7.0 m). It has one inlet stream with an average discharge of
15.3 ft3/second (0.433 m³/sec) and one outlet stream with an average
discharge of 13.9 ft /second (0.394 m³/sec).
(a) Compute the volume of the lake.
(b) Estimate the average residence time for water in the lake.
(c) Consider the water balance for the lake. Name additional possi-
ble terms in the balance aside from those listed above. What can
you conclude about the total of these other terms?
