1 Two and half centimeters of rain per day over an area of 200 km 2 is
equivalent to average rate of input of how many cubic meters per second
of water to that area?

1.2 The watershed at a site on a stream has 77000 ha area. The mean annual
precipitation at this place is 950 mm. (i) If 25% of the rainfall reaches the
basin outlet as stream flow, estimate the mean annual flow rate of the
stream in m3/s. (ii) If watershed treatment including afforestation, causes
the runoff rate to reduce to 22%, what is the increase in the volume of
abstraction from all causes for the same mean annual rainfall of 950 mm?

 1.3 Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal from a 1375 ha reservoir in a
month of 30 days during which the reservoir level dropped by 0.75 m in
spite of an average inflow into the reservoir of 0.5Mm3/day. During the
month, the average seepage loss from the reservoir was 2.5 cm, total
precipitation on the reservoir was 18.5 cm and the total evaporation was
9.5 cm.

 1.4 A river reach had a flood wave passing through it. At a given instant, the
storage of water in the reach was estimated as 15.5 ha.m What would be
the storage in the reach after an interval of 3 hours if the average inflow
and outflow during the time period are 14.2 m3/s and 10.6 m3/s
respectively?

1.5 A catchment has four sub-areas. The annual precipitation and evaporation
from each of the sub-areas are given below.
Assume that there is no change in the groundwater storage on an annual
basis and calculate for the whole catchment the values of annual average
(i) precipitation, and (ii) evaporation. What are the annual runoff
coefficients for the sub-areas and for the total catchment taken as a
whole?
