SPRING 2008 - MIDTERM 1 - SOLUTION

PROBLEM 1

A = 250 km2

P = 800 mm/yr

Q = 2 m3/s


Total volume of precipitation VP:

VP = 250 km2 × 800 mm/y × (1000 m/km)2 / (1000 mm/m) = 200,000,000 m3/y

Total volume of runoff VR:

VR = 2 m3/s × 86400 s/d × 365 d/y = 63,072,000 m3/y

Abstracted percentage:

[(VP - VR) / VP] × 100 = 68.46%   ANSWER.
