PROBLEM 1

A= 420 km2

P= 375 mm/yr

Q= 0.7 m3/s


Total volume of precipitation VP:

VP = 420 km2 × 375 mm/y × (1000 m/km)2 / (1000 mm/m) = 157,500,000 m3/y

Total volume of runoff VR:

VR = 0.7 m3/s × 86400 s/d × 365 d/y = 22,075,200 m3/y

Abstracted percentage:

[(VP - VR) / VP] × 100 = 86%   ANSWER.
