Watershed A has an average annual runoff of 623mm and average annual rainfall equivalent to 1345mm. Calculate its runoff coefficient.
6. Runoff from a 200 mile² catchment drains into a reservoir than has an average surface area of 4000 acres. The reservoir is to be used for municipal water supply. Annual rainfall over the watershed is 40 inches and the annual runoff is 2 inches. Evaporation from the reservoir averages 40 inches per year. If the surface area of the reservoir is roughly constant with depth, how much will the reservoir depth change in one year?

9.7. A small lake with a volume equal to 500,000 m² is approximately completely mixed. The lake is used as a fishing pond by local residents, but pesticide-containing runoff from local farms may cause damage to the fish population. Natural flow through the system is 1000 m³/d and agricultural runoff is 200 m³/d for 200 d. Pesticide concentration in the runoff is 0.1 g/m². When will the concentration increase to the 0.02 g/m² level known to be toxic to the fish?
