Tutorial :01

Chapter :01 Hydrologic Cycle and Water Balance Equation

1. A water shed has an area of 280ha. Due to a 10cm rainfall over the catchment a stream
flow is generated and at the outlet of the catchment it lasts for 8 hours. Assuming a run
off coefficient of 0.4, find the average stream flow rate at the outlet in this period.

2. A precipitation of 25mm/hour occurred over a catchment area of 120 ha for duration of 6


hour. The discharge measured in the stream draining the catchment was found to be
(32,000+Roll No)m3. Calculate the amount of water which was not available to run off.

3. At a given instant, the storage of water in a river reach was found to be 16.0 ha.m. What
would be the storage in the reach after an interval of 3 hours if the average inflow and out
flow during the time period are 14.0m3/s and 9.0 m3/s respectively.

4. Estimate the constant rate of withdrawal from a (1500+Roll No) ha reservoir in a month
of 30 days during which the reservoir level dropped by 0.75m in spite of an average
inflow into the reservoir of 0.5million m3/day. During the month the average seepage
loss from the reservoir was 2.5cm, total precipitation was 18.5cm and total evaporation
was 9.5cm

5. A small catchment of area 200 ha received a rainfall of 14cm in 2 hours due to a storm.
At the outlet of the catchment, the stream draining the catchment was dry before the
storm and experience a run off lasting for 12 hours with an average discharge of 2m3/s.
The stream was again dry after the run off event. Calculate (a) the amount of water which
was not available to run off due to combined effect of infiltration, evaporation &
transpiration. (b) What is the ratio of run off to precipitation?

6. A uniform precipitation of 0.7cm/hr for a period of 3hr in a particular day was observed
in a catchment area of 15km2 of a reservoir. 60% of the precipitation reaches the
reservoir. A canal carrying a flow of 1.25 cumec is taken from the reservoir. The
evaporation rate from the reservoir is 0.5mm/hr/m2. Assuming seepage loss to be 60% of
evaporation loss, calculate the change in the level of reservoir for next 8 hours, if the
water spread of the reservoir is 0.5 km2.
