    A catchment area of 2500 km2 received 1.3 m of precipitation in a year. The river draining the catchment had an average flow rate of 30 m3/s. Students were asked to calculate the total river runoff, runoff coefficient, and amount of water lost to evaporation, transpiration and infiltration based on the given precipitation, catchment area, and flow rate.

    ASSIGNMENT 1: BASIC HYDROLOGY NAME: MATRIC NO.

    : COURSE: DATE:

    1) In a given year, a catchment with an area of 2500 km2 received 1.3 m of precipitation. The average rate of flow measured in a river draining the catchment was 30 m3s-1.

    How much total river runoff occurred in the year (in m3)? What is the runoff coefficient? How much water is lost due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration,
    and infiltration? (Expressed in m).

    1.3 m of precipitation.

    as 30 m3s-1.
