A lake with a surface area of 4000 acres is evaporating at a rate of 112 acre-ft/day (an acre-ft is simply the volume of water obtained if you were to fill an acre up to a depth of a foot). Estimate the depth change in the lake in ft after a year if the net inflow to the lake is 30 cfs. Is the depth increasing or decreasing?

A certain lake has a surface area of 90km2 at the beginning of a certain month and the water depth was 92m for the whole surface area of the lake. During that month the reservoir receives an average inflow of 110 mm and 220m3 /s as rainfall and direct runoff respectively. Whereas the outflow from the reservoir was 210m3 /s as irrigation, 200mm as evapotranspiration and 300mm as groundwater recharge during that month. Find out the depth of the reservoir...

A lake has a surface area of 2 km2. During the month of June (30-day), the inflow rate (I) to the lake was 1.0 m3/s and outflow rate (Q) from the lake was 0.75 m3/s. During this period, the total amount of precipitation (P) on the lake surface was 10 cm, the total amount of evaporation (E) was measured at a nearby pan as 15 cm. (The pan coefficient is 0.7) Calculate the storage change (ΔS) for this period in...

For a given month (30 days): a 20 Km2 lake has 5 m3/s inflow, 4 m3/sec outflow, and total storage increases of 1.2X106 m3. Monthly precipitation on the lake is 12 mm. Assuming the infiltration is insignificant for the lake, determine the evaporation loss in (mm) from the lake. Part. 2 (2.5 marks): The evaporation rate from the surface of a 160 m2 lake is 436 m/day. Estimate the depth change in the lake in feet during a 1-year period...

Lake Waiua is Hawaii's only alpine lake.  It has (approximately) vertical sides and a 7000 m2 area.   Between 2010 and 2013, its depth declined from 3m to 0.3 m.    e) The soil of the lake bed has a porosity of ϕ=0.5.  After the lake drained, the soil is unsaturated and has water content of θ=0.3, and a matric potential (head) of -20m.  There is a rainstorm. After 1 day, all the rainfall infiltrates over the unsaturated soils. The cumulative infiltration (F) depth is...

Part I. Indicate whether true or false (T or F). ____ Storm water detention ponds typically are designed to regulate the outflow peak rate at or below a single target value, such as the pre-development (pre-land use change) peak runoff rate for a specified return period event. Detention storage alters the peak but not the volume of the outflow hydrograph. _____ Typical rating curves for weirs are concave upward. Typical rating curves for orifices are concave downward. ____ A sediment...
