SPRING 2005 - MIDTERM 1 - SOLUTION

PROBLEM 1

A= 420 km2

P= 375 mm/yr

Q= 1.4 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 = 1.4 m3/s × 86400 s/d × 365 d/y = 44,150,400 m3/y

Abstracted percentage:

[(VP - VR) / VP] × 100 = 72%   ANSWER.
