Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes of North America, is also the world's largest freshwater lake by surface area (~ 82,100 km2), and the third largest freshwater lake by volume (~ 12,100 km³). The monthly average precipitation in 2018 in the lake area was 2.69 inches. According to the data provided by USGS water stations, the total flow rate in all the incoming streams was found to be 356,747 ft³/s (cubic feet per second). At the same time, the lake discharges 717,258 ft³/s to its surrounding water bodies. The monthly average evaporation was 18.7 mm. The groundwater inflow was 783.33 km³ less than the groundwater outflow in this year. How would the water level in this lake change in the year of 2018? Increase by 12.87 m. O Decrease by 12.87 m. O Decrease by 10.56 m. Increase by 10.56 m.

The watershed above a particular site on a river has a drainage area of 77 700 hectares. The mean annual precipitation for this area is 812 mm. About 25 percent of the precipitation reaches the basin outlet as streamflow. Estimate the mean flow rate Q at that particular site on the river alternatively in units of cubic meter per year.

Flow rate in a stream discharging water shed runoff is 50 cubic meters per second after five days without rain. The flow rate in the stream reaches half that amount after 20 days without rain. Determine the equation of basal flow hydrograph. Find the amount of flow rate after a period of six months in the watercourse.
It is required to find the maximum flow rate to be used in the design for the rainwater system to be built in an area of 3.2 km2. 50% of the said area can be considered as settlement, 25% as industry, 10% as grassland and 15% as roads. Calculate the desired flow using the rational formula. The maximum possible daily precipitation in the region is 144 kg/m². Explain your suggestions on how to make your result more reliable.
