Determine the amount of evapotranspiration from an area if the total rainfall precipitated during a storm is 10.0 mm. Given the antecedent moisture at the root in the soil was 5.00 mm, the loss of water due to seepage 2.5 mm, losses due to percolation 2.00 mm, surface run-off 3.00 mm and the moisture retained in the soil is 1.00 mm.

A 10-acre pond is located within a 640-acre watershed. The pond is lined with compacted class so seepage is negligible. During a thirty day period, the rain was 2.5 in. The average streamflow into the pond was 0.45 ft3 /s and out of the pond was 0.1 ft3 /s. By the end of the 30 days, the water level in the pond had risen 1.9 inches. Determine the evaporation over the 30 days in inches of water.
The initial infiltration capacity of the soil is 00386 cm per min, the time constant as 0.1018 per hour, and the capacity of soil for final infiltration in 0.6683 cm per hour. If the rain starts at 8:00PM on 10November 2015, use Horton's Equation to solve for the infiltration is a 18:00PM capacity of the soil (mm per hr) at 4:42PM the next day.
The infiltration rate at the beginning of a storm is 150 mm/h and decreases to a constant value of 15 mm/hr after 10 hours. If the total infiltration during the 15 h amounts to 290 mm and the rainfall is always in excess of the infiltration capacity, what is the value of the parameter of the empirical infiltration model given by Horton?
A lake of surface area 500 Acres received a daily average rainfall equals to (R) mm for a whole month. Direct inflows to this lake during this month were; R, 2R, 1.5R and 3R (in cusecs). Daily evaporation loss during this month was 1R cm/day. Later it was found that the rain gauge was inclined at an angle of 10 degree with the vertical. Direct outflow during this month was 0.25R cusecs/day. Assume the sides of the lake as vertical with initial water depth of 100ft at start of the month. Find the final storage of the lake at the end of the month. Also find the change in storage of the lake and rate of change of storage? Find Your answers in Acre-ft and Acre-ft/month, respectively Note R= 7

Q3: An infiltration capacity curve prepared for a catchment indicated an initial infiltration rate of 2.5 cm/hr and attains a constant value of 0.5 cm/hr after 10 hours of rainfall with the Horton’s constant k = 1 per week.

An infiltration capacity curve has the following parameters: fc, the equilibrium infiltration capacity is 17 mm/hr; fo, the initial infiltration is 123 mm/hr; k, the rate constant is 0.4 hr-1; Two rainstorms pass over identical basins of area 80 km2 with the above characteristics. The first storm has a continuous rainfall of 50 mm/hr for 6 hours. The second storm has a rainfall of 75mm/hr for 1 hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 75 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1 hour, followed by 75 mm/hr for 1hour, followed by 25 mm/hr for 1 hour also for a total of six hours. Calculate the volume of infiltrated water (in m3) over the first hour, over the first four hours, and over the total six hours. Do so for each of the storms. Comment and try to explain any similarity or difference in the answers for the two storms.
