Water Availability in the Chattahoochee River Watershed Area Using Water Budget: The Chattahoochee River Watershed area covers a land area of 8770 square miles. The population living within this watershed area is 3.835 million. The 2023 water data for the Chattahoochee River Watershed area shows: the annual precipitation in the area was 13.543 inch; the total stream flowrates entering this watershed was 78.64 ft³/s; the total stream flowrates leaving this watershed was 89.98 ft³/s; the groundwater inflow was at a total flowrate of 8.73 ft³/s; the groundwater outflow was at a total flowrate of 7.76 ft³/s; the annual evapotranspiration was 12.432 in; and the average per-person water consumption was 98.9 gallons per day (GPD). Unit conversions: 1 acre = 43,560 ft²; 1 mile = 5280 ft; 1 ft = 12 inches; 1 gallon = 0.133681 ft³. Questions: According to the 2023 water data, how did the water storage in the Chattahoochee River Watershed change (increase, decrease, or remain the same)? What was the change in the unit of acre-ft?
