Mirror Lake has a volume of 4x106 m and an average water flow-through rate of 8x102 m/ day. A conservative pollutant continuously enters the lake at the rate of 100 kg/day. Ignore evaporation from the lake surface and assume the pollutant is uniformly mixed in the lake. What is the residence time of the water and the pollutant in the lake?

The infiltration rate for excess rain on a small area was observed to be 11.43 cm/h at the beginning of rain and it decreased exponentially toward an equilibrium of 1.27 cm/hr. A total of 0.76 m of water infiltrated during a 10 hours interval. Calculate the value of k in Horton's equation.
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.

A canal and a stream run parallel to each other at a separation distance of 400 m. Both of them completely penetrate an unconfined aquifer (K = 3.0 m/day) located above a horizontal impervious bed. The aquifer forms the separation landmass between the two water bodies. The water surface elevations in the canal and the stream are 5.0 and 3.0. i. the uniform infiltration rate that will create a water table divide at a distance of 100 m from the canal ii. the elevation of the water table divide iii. the seepage discharge into the two water bodies iv.

The plan area of a reservoir is 1 km2. The water level in the reservoir is observed to decline by 20 cm in a certain period. During this period, the reservoir receives a surface inflow of 10 ha-m and 20 ha-m are abstracted from the reservoir for irrigation and power. The pan evaporation and rainfall recorded during the same period at a nearby meteorological station are 12 cm and 3 cm respectively. The calibrated pan factor is 0.7. The seepage loss from the reservoir during this period in hectare-m is
