Wells, ponds, rivers or springs are traditionally used for different purposes and they may not be operational all year. Some water sources are more reliable, convenient, or provide water that tastes better. Against the pretext: i) What technology choice is suitable for countries with one or two rainy seasons with an average annual rainfall ranging from 250 mm to 750 mm and where other improved water-supply systems are difficult to implement? ii). Almost 1 liter per horizontal square meter per millimeter of rainfall. Thus, estimate the quantity of water under a roof of 10 square meter per 750mm annual rainfall. iii). What model choice is appropriate for estimating the cost of development?
Reservoir and Streamflow Routing
In hydrology, a reservoir is usually a natural pond that is enlarged or made using a dam to keep the water clean. Reservoirs or dams can be constructed in several ways, including controlling the existing watercourse, disrupting the watercourse to form embayment within it, by digging or building any number of retaining walls.
Water Resource Systems Analysis
Water resources are natural water sources that may be as useful as water sources. 97% of the world's water is saltwater and only 3% is pure water; just over two-thirds of this ice sheet is located in glaciers. The remaining pure frozen water is found primarily as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above the ground or in the air. Natural sources of freshwater include surface water, under river flow, groundwater, and ice water. Artificial water sources can include treated wastewater (recycled water) and saline seawater.
