A small drainage basin has an area of 8.7 km² and received 640 mm of precipitation in a given year. In the same year, the stream draining this basin had an average discharge of 1.3 x 106 m³ /yr. The basin has one inlet stream with an average annual discharge of 2.9 cfs and that there has been no change in water stored within the basin. Given that 1cfs = 0.028316847m³/s, compute the annual evaporation from the basin in m³ /yr

Civil Engineering Hydrology A certain lake has a surface of 708,000 sq m. For a given month ( assumed 30 days ) the lake has an inflow of 1.5 m² /s and an outflow of 1.25 m/s and a storage change of +690,000 m and was recorded. If a precipitation gage recorded a total of 22.5 cm for this month ,determine the evaporation loss in cm for the lake .Assume seepage loss is negligible
A given storage reservoir has a normal pool area of 4,000 acres and serves a drainage area of 200 mi2 (i.e. the 4,000 acre reservoir is within the 200 mi2 watershed). During an average year, rainfall is 37 in, runoff is 10 in, and reservoir evaporation is 30 in. Determine the net change in storage of the reservoir during the year if a local municipality is allowed to take 100 MGD from the reservoir. You may neglect infiltration and see page from the reservoir. Express your answer in acre-ft.
The average water surface area in a reservoir is 5000ha, calculate the water surface elevation in meters of the reservoir at the end of the month if it is having a water surface elevation of 103.2m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. Consider that, in that month the reservoir received an average inflow of 6.0m /s from surface runoff sources. In the same period the outflow from the reservoir had an average value of 6.5 m3/s. Further, in that month, the reservoir received a rainfall of 145 mm and the evaporation form the reservoir surface was estimated as 6.10 cm.

6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?
