A lake with a surface area of 5km² had a water surface elevation of 103.2m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 6m³/s from surface runoff source. In the same period the outflow from the lake had an average value of 6.5 m³/s. Further, in that month, the lake received a rainfall of 145mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was estimated as 6.10cm. Calculate the water surface elvation of the lake at the end of the month.

In a month of 30 days, a lake received an average inflow of 6m^3/s from surface runoff. In the same period the outflow from the lake had anaverage value of 6.5 m3/sec. Further, in that month, the lakereceived a rainfall of 145 mm and the evaporation from the lakesurface was estimated as 6.1 cm and seepage loss was 2.5cm in that month. The average lake surface is 5000 ha. Compute for the change in water elevation in the lake at the end of that month in centimeters, If it is a loss, indicate this by preceding the answer with a negative sign.
Mangla Lake had a water surface level of 650 m above a datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 250 cumecs. There was an outflow of 150 cumecs. In the same month, the lake received a rainfall of 150 mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was 5 cm. Using the hydrologic equation, estimate the water surface elevation of the lake at the end of the month. Assume the lake surface area as 450 hectares and that there was no contribution to or from the groundwater storage.
A reservoir has an average area of 50 km2 over a year. The normal annual rainfall at the place is 120 cm and the class A pan evaporation is 240 cm. Assuming the land flooded by the reservoir has a runoff coefficient 0.4, estimate the net annual increase or decrease in the stream flow as a result of the reservoir.
Clear Lake has a surface area of 708,000 m2 (70.8 ha). For a given month the lake has an inflow of 1.5 m3/s and an outf1ow of 1.25 m3/s. A +1.0 -m storage change or increase in lake level was recorded. If a precipitation gage recorded a total of 24 cm for this month, determine the evaporation loss (in cm) for the lake. Assume that seepage loss is negligible.

Reportedly one of the shortest rivers in the world at 30 m in length, the Ombla River watershed hasan area of about 600 km2 and receives 1020.8 mm of precipitation annually. The regional averageannual evapotranspiration is 150 mm. Measured at its Adriatic Sea terminus, the average flowrateof the Ombla River is 24.1 m3/s.How much runoff reached the river as discharge for the year (in cm)? What annual volume is removed in vapour form (in m3)?Considering the climatic variables reported, what volume remains unclassified in the waterbalance (in ha∙m/yr), and what could this volume reasonably represent in the hydrologic cycle?
Compute the average outflow from a 550 hectare river for 15 days period during which the river level dropped half a meter despite an average upstream inflow of 200000m^3/day.During the period, the total seepage loss was 2cm,the total precipitation was 15cm, the total evaporation was 4 cm. Answer must be in cm.
A reservoir had a water surface elevation of 110 m above the datum at the beginning of the month. In the same month, the reservoir received an average inflow of 7.5 cms (m3/s) from surface runoff sources. For the same period, the outflow from the reservoir had an average value of 5 cms. Further, in the same month, the reservoir received a rainfall of 180 mm and losses due to evaporation of 5 cm. Assume the area of the lake is 50 km2 acres and assume no contribution from groundwater storage. What is the water surface elevation of the reservoir after the month?
