SPRING 2006 - MIDTERM 1 - SOLUTION

PROBLEM 1

A= 124 km2

P= 250 mm/yr

Q= 0.25 m3/s


Total volume of precipitation VP:

VP = 124 km2 × 250 mm/yr × (1000 m/km)2 / (1000 mm/m) = 31,000,000 m3/yr

Total volume of runoff VR:

VR = 0.25 m3/s × 86400 s/d × 365 d/yr = 7,884,000 m3/yr

Abstracted percentage:

[(VP - VR) / VP] × 100 = 74.6%   ANSWER.
