A total of 10 mm of rainfall fell on a lake with a surface area of T km^2 in June 1996. Relatedthe average flow rate of the stream entering the lake per month is 12 m^3 / s, while the average flow rate of the stream leaving the lake is7m^3/s dir. Monthly evaporation height measured in an evaporation pan near the lake during this month45mm and the pan coefficient in the relevant month is 0.75 according to what is the volume of water in the lake in this monthcalculate that it has changed up to?(T=159)
A reservoir is in a region where the average annual precipitation is 3106 mm and normal annual US class A pan evaporation is 3456 mm. The average area of reservoir water surface is 50 km2. If under conditions of 30% of the rainfall on the land occupied by the reservoir runoff into the stream, estimate the net annual increase or decrease in the stream flow. Assume suitable pan evaporation coefficient.?
A lake had a water surface elevation of 103.2 m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 6.0 m3 /s from surface runoff sources. 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 145 mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was estimated as 6.10 cm. Write the water budget equation for the lake and calculate the water surface elevation of the lake at the end of the month. The average lake surface area can be taken as 5000 ha. (groundwater flow negligible).
A rainfall excess of 2.1 cm in 1 hour produced a triangular runoff hydrograph with a peak of 20 m3/s at 2 hours and a return to zero at 10 hours. According to the UH theory, the runoff hydrograph for rainfall excess of 4.2 cm in the same time period: A) would have a peak of 40 m3/s and a total runoff period of 20 hours B) would have a peak of 40 m3/s at 4 hours C) would have a total volume of 720 000 m3 and a peak of 40 m3/s D) Cannot be determined since the unit is not 1 cm
