6. For a given month, a 300-acre lake has 15 cfs of inflow and an evapotranspiration of 5 inches. A USGS rain gage next to the lake recorded a total of 30 inches of precipitation for the lake for the month. Assume that infiltration loss is insignificant for the lake and that there are 30 days in the given month. Determine the total volume in ft³ that dam operators must release that month to maintain a constant water level (no change in storage). What constant outflow (in cfs) for the entire month would achieve release of the total volume?

A lake with a surface area of 1260 acres was monitored over a period of time. During a one-month period, the inflow was 44 cfs, the outflow was 26 cfs, and a 1.6 in. seepage loss was measured. During the same month, the total precipitation was 5.2 in. Evaporation loss was estimated as 3 in. Estimate the storage change (ac-ft) for this lake during the month. Note: 1 ac is equal to 43560 ft²
For a given year, a 378-acre lake has 22cfs of inflow, 19cfs of outflow, and a total storage increase of 13ac-ft. A USGS gage next to the lake recorded a total of 3.5 in precipitation for the lake on the first month and 2.9 in on the second month. If the infiltration loss is considered insignificant for the lake, determine the following: i Evaporation loss, in inches, over the lake for two months. ii Compute the transpiration, in inches, if it is the 9% of the evaporation loss. iii If the inflow and outflow are the same, compute the new evaporation loss/gain, in inches, over the lake for two months.
A lake with a surface area of 525 acres was monitored over some time. During one month the inflow was 30cfs, the outflow was 27cfs, and a 1.5-in. seepage loss was measured. During the same month, the total precipitation was 4.25 in. Evaporation loss was estimated at 6.0 in. Estimate the storage change for this lake during the month.
Problem 4 A lake with a surface area of 750 acres was monitored over a period of time. During a one- month period, the inflow was 35 cfs, the outflow was 28 cfs, and a 1.5-in. seepage loss was measured. During the same month, the total precipitation was 4.8 in. Evaporation loss was estimated as 6.0 in. Estimate the storage change for this lake during the month.
#1 The long-term average annual precipitation (P) over a reservoir (surface area = 186 mi) is 40 in/yr. The average streamflow (Q) flowing out of the reservoir is 188 ft³/s. Estimate the average. annual evaporation (E) from this reservoir assuming changes in storage and losses are negligible.
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.?
Clear lake has a surface area of 70.8ha. For a given month the lake has an inflow of 1.50m³/s and an outflow of 1.25m³/s. A +1.0m storage change or increase in lake level was recorded. If a precipitation gage recorded a total of 24 cm for this month, determine the evaporation loss (in cm) for the lake. Assume that seepage loss is negligible.
A 15 mm rainfall is recorded over a small catchment according to the table below.Infiltration tests in the area have given the following Horton equation parameters:fo= 27 mm/hr; fc = 6 mm/hr; k= 3.5 hr.Time (hr) Rainfall intensity (mm/hr)0.00-0.25 400.25-0.50 30.50-0.75 120.75-1.00 16(a) Calculate the infiltration capacity as a function of time. It is assumed that the soil surface is always ponded with water.(b) Can the Horton equation be applied to calculate infiltration for thisrainfall event?
1.6. A lake with a surface area of 1260 acres was monitored over a period of time. During a one-month period, the inflow was 36 cfs, the outflow was 30 cfs, and a 1.6-in. seepage loss was measured.

During the same month, the total precipitation was 4 in. Evaporation loss was estimated as 5.5 in. Assume that the month had 30 days. First, determine the change in water depth during the month in inches. Next, estimate the storage change for this lake during the month in acre-ft.
Please be clear with your solution and write an explanation for every formula and solution. 1. For a given month a 300-acre lake has 15 cfs of inflow, 13 cfs of outflow, and a total storage increase of 16 ac-ft. A USGS gage next to the lake recorded a total of 1.3 in. precipitation for the lake for the month. Assuming that infiltration loss is insignificant for the lake, determine the evaporation loss, in inches, over the lake for the month.
a) Table shows total rainfall for each month of the year 2012 for a 200 m² sub- basin located upstream. If the average daily evaporation is considered as 2 mm/day throughout the year and total runoff generated is 70% of the total rainfall, determine the amount of water stored or infiltrate in the sub-basin on average each month in unit m?. Consider the rainfall to be uniformly distributed across catchment and use 30 days for each month in the calculation.
