(i) The watershed at a particular site on a river has 77000 ha area. The mean annual precipitation is 950 mm. About 25% of precipitation reaches the basin outlet as stream flow. Estimate the mean flow rate Q at this site in m³ s-1? If the head available at the site is 150 m and assuming the transmission loss of 10%, what would be the power that can be generated in MW?

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.
