1. The New York City water supply system is one of the most extensive municipal water systems in theworld. This complex system relies on a combination of tunnels, aqueducts and reservoirs to meet thedaily needs of millions of residents of the city. The watersheds that feed into NYC reservoirs have atotal surface area of 1,969 mi?, and receive an average annual rainfall of 47 inches per year.a. If all of the rain falling on the watersheds is collected in reservoirs, how much water will becollected in the reservoirs?billion gallons per dayCheckb. Would you expect all of the rain falling on the watersheds to reach the reservoirs? Brieflyexplain.c. If 35% of the rain falling on the watersheds is collected in reservoirs (i.e., the surface runoffcoefficient = 0.35), how much water will be collected in the reservoirs?billion gallons per dayd. If we experienced a prolonged period of drought with an annual rainfall of 22 inches per year,(For this part, again consider that 35% of the rain falling on the watersheds is collected inreservoirs.)billion gallons per dayChecke. Would there be enough water falling on the watershed to meet the current water demand ofNYC of 1.1 billion gallons per day under our average rainfall (part c) and under a prolongeddrought (part d)? Briefly explain.

Two and a half centimeters of rain per day over an area of 200 sq.km is equivalent to average rate of input of how many cubic meters per second of water to that area?
Problem - 100 cm of precipitation fall each year on a 400 hectare farm. According to estimates, 20% of precipitation travels as runoff to the nearest watercourse and 40% of precipitation evaporates back into the atmosphere. The aquifer receives the remaining precipitation by percolation. All through the year, the aquifer is used to extract water for irrigation. Approximately 80% of the groundwater that is removed eventually evaporates. Determine how much groundwater recharge—measured in cubic meters—can be taken out annually for irrigation without dwindling the groundwater supply.
Apart from evaporation, another cause of water loss in the pond is seepage (water that is lost through the bottom of the pond, through the dikes by infiltration and the drainage system of the pond). If the volume of the pond remains to be 2,000 m3 and water loss due to evaporation remains to be 25 m3 per month, answer the following if the seepage loss is 21 m3 per day: What is the equation that will best represent this problem? What is the total amount of water that will remain in the pond after the whole month of January 2021 has passed?
Does groundwater contribute directly to the water needs of plants? Explain. How does the need for irrigation in humid areas differ from that in arid regions? What human activities intervene the continuous flow of the hydrologic cycle? Explain.
A water supply company has delivered an annual quantity of 120,000,000 m3 (including leakage) to a city of 1.2 million inhabitants with a mixed industrial-Commercial- residential city in South Africa. The total floor area of an office complex building (non-combustible construction, C = 0.8) is 30 000 m2. The leakage from the system estimated at 20% of the total supply, and billed non-domestic consumption of 25 million m3/y. Assume annual demand growth is 2.8%.
Explain the limitations of water pumping systems in terms of climatic conditions.
Assuming a factor of safety of 2, what will be the water demand when water consumption per capita is 3.7 litres/day in a community of 6000 people and the minimum water released from a reservoir is 150,000 litres?
Example: Iraq has a total land area of 43707200 hectare, with an estimated average of rainfall at 154 mm/year. A part from that, water loss was estimated to be 45.8 km/year and groundwater recharge was 1.1 km/year. The country has two transboundary rivers, where Euphrates receives 15.13 km/year and Tigris receives 19.94 km3. According to the giving data, calculate the water dependency ratio.
