Problem1.A 500 m2 botanical garden which harvest 1000 flowers per day of 15 variations, in a  year the average rainfall is 170 cm/yr. With the rainfall 30% percolates into the ground and the  rest are harvested in a spherical cistern. 35% of the cistern water is used for watering that percolates  into the ground and the rest of water evaporate. Every day they sprinkled water from the cistern  and dug wells. Of the dug well water, 75% evaporates and the remainder percolates back into the  ground. (Steady State Condition) a. What is volume of rainfall in the botanical garden? b. Volume of water in the cistern c. Volume of water from the well d. Volume of water that evapotranspirate from the well e. Total Volume of water that repercolates into the ground
