Over a three-month period of time, a drainage basin in Sohar area is expected to receive 0.25 m of rain with an expected evapotranspiration estimated at 90 mm and the lost to ground water storage of 10 mm by infiltration process. There is a reducing in the storage of the watershed of 30000 m3. i) Define the physical processes of the hydrological cycle in this watershed using sketch. ii) What is the expected rate of runoff at the outlet point if the catchment area is 1000 hectares. iii) Calculate the runoff coefficient in this watershed and find the soil type.

A small public well is used to supply drinking water to a small residential community located in a 26 square kilometer watershed. For the month of June, the measured rainfall was 12 cm, the estimated evapotranspiration was 7.5 cm and the surface water runoff entered a small stream with an average flow of 0.32 m3/sec that leaves the watershed. Estimate the average flow (m3/day) from the public well without depleting the underlying aquifer (neither gains nor loses water). Assume that all water that infiltrates will percolate to the aquifer. There is no baseflow.
In a given year, a catchment with an area of 2500 km2 received 130 cm of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in a gauge at the outlet of the watershed was 30 m3/sec. a.) How much runoff reached the river for the year (in m)? b.) Estimate the water losses due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration due to ground water (in m), assumed that no change in storage within a year c.) What is the runoff coefficient?
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.
