1. Precipitation is equivalent to rainfall in mm multiplied by the total land area of the country.
2. Actual evapotranspiration is estimated as 63 per cent of the precipitation less runoff.
3. Runoff is estimated as 6 per cent of the precipitation in rural areas and 51 per cent in built-up areas.
4. Artificial recharge comprises leakages from the network of water mains, leakages from sewers, water infiltration from dammed va
