Q2 The average annual rainfall is 800 mm/yr in a catchment of 100 km2. In its original condition the average annual total runoff is 1.1 m/s. In an average year, 50% of the rainfall infiltrates and 12.5% of the rainfall reaches groundwater. Tests have shown that the average annual evapotranspiration from the unsaturated zone is 340 mm/yr. Assume water balance over long time period, compute the following; i. How much water (mm/yr) reaches the root zone through capillary rise? ii. How much water seeps out from the groundwater to the surface water in an average year (mm/yr)? How much water evaporates directly from interception in mm/yr? v. How much is the total evapotranspiration (mm/yr) in the catchment in an avera year? SHOT ON S15 tel DUAL CAMERA
