The water flows fully through the rectangular channel of lateral dimensions 4 m x 3 m. What is the velocity of flow (m/s) through the channel, if the slope of energy line and Chezy's constant is given as 0.0006 and 90 respectively?
The storage (S, m³) and outflow rate (O, m³/s) of an outflow structure of a reservoir can be described by the relationship S/10,000 = O. At time equal to zero, the inflow rate, the outflow rate, and the storage can be assumed to be zero, compute the outflow rate from the storage at the end of the two hours when the inflow rate was 500 m³/s.

A farm pond having full capacity of 125 m3 was emptied to a 2-ha farm through a connecting canal in 1 hour. Assuming no water loss is incurred during delivery, calculate the rate of water intake by the farm in m3/s and L/s. What is the depth of water evenly applied to the farm (in cm)?
A cylindrical tank having a diameter of 3.5m and a height of 10m is full of water. there is an orifice at the bottom of the tank having an area of 0.025 m^2. if the tank has a coefficient of discharge of 0.60, how long will it take to empty the tank in minutes?
The water balance is defined by the general hydrologic equation, which is basically a statement of the law of conservation of mass applied to the hydrologic cycle. In its simplest form, this equation reads I= O + AS. where l is total inflow. O is total outfiow and AS is change in storage. In a month of 30 days, a lake received an average inflow of 6 m^3/s from surface runoff. In that same period, outfilow from the lake had an average value of 6.5 m^3/s. Further, the lake received a rainfall of 145 mm. evaporation of 6.10 cm and seepage loss was 2.5 cm in that month. The average lake surface is 5000 ha. Compute for the change in water elevation in the lake at the end of that month in centimeters. If it is a LOSS, indicate this by preceding your answer with a negative sign. "
