(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?

Water flows through a 7.5 m diameter penstock on a dam at a flow rate of 113 m3/s. The total head available for the turbine is 18.4 m. The specifiic weight of water is 9810 N/m3. What is the power generated by the turbine?
Read the question carefully and give me right solution with clear calculations. Note: If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. At a river a suitable site for a run-of-the river installation has an available head of 13 m between the water intake and the turbine house. Environmental guidelines permit to extract water for hydropower only if it is in excess of 2.8 m3/s. Estimate the power generated in kW when the flow in the river is 10.9 m3/s for a turbine with an efficiency of 90%. Present the answer as integer in kW.

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.
