CIV E 634 - SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY
SPRING 2011
HOMEWORK 1: WATER BALANCE USING CATCHMENT WETTING
The following precipitation-runoff-surface runoff (P-R-S)
data (mm) has been obtained for the Sarada River Basin, in Andhra Pradesh, Southeastern India.
|
Year | P | R | S
| 1981 | 920 | 87 | 61
| 1982 | 1016 | 141 | 96
| 1983 | 1251 | 377 | 266
| 1984 | 770 | 71 | 50
| 1985 | 915 | 69 | 53
| 1986 | 1235 | 281 | 199

- Use ONLINE WATER BALANCE to calculate average values of: (1) precipitation P, (2) runoff R, (3) surface runoff S, (4) baseflow U, (5)
wetting W, (6) vaporization V,
(7) runoff coefficient Kr, and (8) baseflow coefficient Ku.
- Based on these values, what kind of ecosystem is likely to prevail in the Sarada river basin?
