An 800-square-kilometer basin recorded 50 cm of rainfall in a year. During that year, ET was 5 meters, and recharge by ponds to the groundwater was 2.5e^7 cubic meters. Domestic pumping was 35 cubic meters/day and underflow from the basin was a loss of 25 cm. What is the total change in storage in this basin (give the answer in cubic meters per year)?
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.
