Problem 1: Water BalanceMeasurements of water-balance components have been made for a one-year period on a lake with an area of 0.8 km2 with the following results: P = 1400 mm, Qsi = 0.15 m3 s-1, and Qso = 0.17 m3 s-1. The lake-surface elevation, h, at the end of the year was 45 mm lower than at the beginning. What is the estimate (in mm) of the lake evaporation for that year?
Take note: Answer and write your solution on a clean paper clearly. During a flood flow the depth of water in a 12 m wide rectangular channel was found to be 3.5 m and 3.3 m at two sections 300 m apart. The drop in the water-surface elevation was found to be 0.18 m. Assuming Manning’s coefficient to be 0.023, determine the following: a. Average value of k? b. Estimate the flood discharge through the channel ?

Answer must be in cm.
A lake with a surface area of 1250 acres was monitored over a period of time. During a one-month period, the inflow was 43 cfs, the outflow was 36 cfs, and a 2-in. seepage loss was measured. During the same month, the total precipitation was 4 in. Evaporation loss was estimated as 5.5 in. Assume that the month had 30 days. First, determine the change in water depth during the month in inches. Next, estimate the storage change for this lake during the month in acre-ft.
