During a storm event, the measured discharge of the river to a reservoir is 58 cu. m. per sec (cms). If the rate of increase of the level of the reservoir is 1.4x10-4 m/s, determine the rate of discharge (in cms) of the reservoir to the intake tower for the purpose of water supply? Assume average surface area of the reservoir is 10 Ha.

Given are the measurements of weir of a reservoir below. After heavy rainfalls in the city the depth of water over the weir became 4 meters. If the total discharge through the weir was 1 000 000 m³, what is the average rate of flow of the water until the flow over the weir lasted? 4.0 m L-200 m
The storage in the lake reach 75x103m3 . During that time the inflow is 15 m3 /s and the outflow is 21 m3 /s. after 3 hours the inflow and outflow are 23 m3 /s and 25 m3 /s. determine the ∆? during the 3 hours period and the storage volume after another 3 hours.
6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
Water flows in a horizontal, rectangular channel initially 10 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The initial velocity is 6 ft/s. This flow encounters downstream a simultaneous downward step and constriction. No energy losses are associated with these changes in channel configuration. a. What is the specific discharge, q: i. Upstream (for w= 10 feet)? ii. Downstream (for w = 6 feet)? b. What specific energy, E, is associated with the flow as initially specified (at the upstream location)? c. What is the minimum energy needed to pass the full discharge at the downstream location? d. What is the height (Az) of the smallest downward step necessary for the upstream flow conditions to remain as specified?
If discharge in a rectangular channel is found to be 20 m³/s and energy drop of 0.25 m occur over 400 m, then conveyance of channel is (in m³/s).
Estimate the constant flow rate of withdrawal from a 15 km² reservoir in a month (30days) during which the reservoir level dropped by 1 m despite an average inflow into the reservoir of 0.95 * 10 m³ /day. During the month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 4.5cm, the total precipitation on the reservoir was 19.5cm, and the total evaporation was 7.5cm.
Question- A peak flow of a flood hydrograph due to a 6 hour storm is 470 m³/s. The corresponding average depth of rainfall is 8 cm. Assume an Infiltration loss of 0.25 cm/hour and a constant base flow of 15 m³/s. What is the peak discharge of 6 hour unit hydrograph for this Catchment?
The town of Viracocha discharges 17,360 m³/day of treated wastewater into the Pachacamac Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12/day at 10 °C. Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Compute the DO and the initial ultimate BOD, Lo, after mixing. Draw the Mass Balance Diagram.
A flow of 10 cfs enters a 1-mi? vertical walled reservoir. Find the time required to raise the reservoir level by 6 in.
During a particular 30-days period, the streamflow flowing into a reservoir averaged 5.0 cubic meter per second. Water supply withdrawals from the reservoir averaged 136 mgd (million gallon per day). The only other outflow from the reservoir was 9.4 cm of evaporation from the reservoir water surface. The average water surface area of the reservoir during the 30 days was 3.75 sq.km. The reservoir had 12,560 ac-ft of water in storage at the beginning of the 30-days period. Determine the storage content at the end of the 30 days in units cu.m.
