An amount of 4.5 cm of water evaporated from a 150-hectare vertical walled reservoir for two days. Storm water was added to the reservoir at a constant rate of 5.5 m/s during this period. i) Compute the volume of water released during the period if the water level in the reservoir was the same at the beginning and at the end of the day. Give the answer in hectare-cm. ii) The rate of water consumption recommended by the United Nations per individual is 165 liter per day. Based on the total volume of water lost in QI(c)(i), estimate the total person that lost the opportunity to use this water.

B- The mass curve of rainfall in the storm of total duraƟon 300 minutes is given below. Draw the hyetograph of the storm at 60 minutes interval step and intensity in cm/hr.(Show by calculaƟons )
A river reach had a flood were passing through it. At a given instant, the storage of water in the reach was estimated as 15.5 Ha-m. What would be the storage in the reach after an interval of 3 hours, if the average inflow and outflow during the time period are 14.2 cubic meter per second and 10.6 cubic meter per second, respectively? (Ans. S = 193,880 cubic meter)
A lake has a surface area of 7.0 x 105 m² During a given month, the mean inflow to the lake was 2.5 m³/s. The increase in stored lake volume was observed to be 6.5 x 10 m². Precipitation during the same month was 380 mm and evaporation was 320 mm. Calculate the outflow from the lake for the same month in m/s.
A hill slope receives with an area of 1.1 x 104 m2 receives precipitation for a period of 41 minutes with an average rainfall intensity of 32 mm/hour. The total surface water flow during the 41 minutes is 14.9 x 104 litres. Given that evaporation and percolation to the groundwater are negligible, determine the change in soil water storage in m3 for this event.
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?

Water at a constant rate of 370 cumecs was observed to be entering Tarbela Reservoir in a particular season. If outflow from the reservoir including infiltration and evaporation losses is 280 cumec, find out the change in reservoir storage for 10 such days. Also, convert your answer into Hectare-Meter.
WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING: Measurements of a water-balance 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 m3s-1 and Qso = 0.17m3s-1. The lake surface elevation, h, at the end of the year was 45mm lower than at the beginning. What is the estimate (in mm) of the lake evaporation for that year?
Watershed area = 11.1 acres Average N concentration of inflow = 1.9 mg/L Total Rainfall = 44.75 inches Average N concentration of outflow = 1.4 mg/L Total pond inflow = 330,441 ft3 Average P concentration of inflow = 0.42 mg/L Total pond outflow = 288,492 ft3 Average P concentration of outflow = 0.23 mg/L Total pond volume = 46,893 ft3 (this is the volume to the top of the riser before overflow occurs) Answer the following questions: a) What percentage of the total rainflow flowed into the pond? b) If the pond were completely empty, how much rainfall in inches would be required to fill it to the total pond volume? Use your answer to question A to help answer this. c) What is the total Nitrogen load flowing into the pond in lbs/Acre/Year? d) How many lbs of Nitrogen did the pond remove over the year? e) What percentage of Phosphorous was removed by the pond?
A lake has an area of 2,500 acres. During a specific month, the lake evaporation was 95 mm. During the same month, the inflow to the lake from a river was on average 1.3 m3/s and the outflow from the lake via another river was on average 1.4 m3/s. Also, for the same month, a water level increase of 11 cm for the lake was observed. What is the precipitation during the month? Assume no groundwater flow.
In a given month, a watershed with an area of 1500 m^2 received 100 cm of precipitation. During the same month, the loss due to evaporation was 15cm. Ignore losses due to transpiration and infiltration due to ground water. What would be the average rate of flow measured in a gage at the outlet of the watershed in m^3/day?
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.
