Q- A catchment area of 65 Sq. Km. in Gilgit received a rainfall of 12 cm from a 3-hours storm. At the outlet of the catchment, a natural stream had a steady flow of 10 cumecs before the storm and experienced a runoff lasting for 20 hours with an average discharge value of 90 cumecs. The stream was again to its original steady state with a flow of 10 cumecs. Estimate the losses and ratio of runoff to precipitation.

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.
