1.

A reservoir with a surface area of 250 hectares had the following average values of parameters
during a week. Water temp:20’C, Relative humidity 40%, wind velocity at 1.0 m above
ground=16km/hr. Estimate the average daily evaporation from the lake and volume of water
evaporated from the lake during that week.

2. Compute the daily evaporation from a Class A pan if the amounts of water added to bring the
level to the fixed point are as follows:
Day: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Rainfall (mm) 14 6 12 8 0 5 6
Water -5 3 0 0 7 4 3
Added (mm) (removed)
What is the evaporation loss of water in this week from a lake (surface area=640 ha) in the
vicinity, assuming a pan co-efficient of 0.75?

3. Annual rainfall and runoff values (in cm) of a catchment spanning a period of 21 years are given
below. Analyze the data to
(a) Estimate the 75% and 50% dependable annual yield of the catchment and
(b) to develop a linear correlation equation to estimate annual runoff volume for a given annual
rainfall value.

5. The daily flows of a river for three consecutive years are shown in Table below. For convenience
the discharges are shown in class intervals and the number of days the flow belonged to the
class is shown. Calculate the 50% and 75% dependable flows for the river.
