The reservoir in Tisa, Labangon is supplied from a watershed having an area of 24 sq.km. The surface area of the reservoir is only 6% of the watershed area. For the month of July the rainfall was 35 mm. Assuming a rainfall coefficient of 82% and the evaporation from a free water surface to be 28 mm during the month. Compute the loss in the watershed in cu.m.
Clear lake has a surface area of 70.8ha. For a given month the lake has an inflow of 1.50m³/s and an outflow of 1.25m³/s. A +1.0m storage change or increase in lake level was recorded.
