Cathment Area
• Water Course at a given location
• Drainage area=Drainage
basin=Watershed=Cathment Area
Divide
P = Precipitation or RF
R = Runoff
G = Net GW outflow
E = Evaporation
T = Transpiration
S= Change in Storage
All in Unit Volume over Catchment Area

Calculate WBE for the Lake
• Water budget equation for the lake:
• Input Vol-Output Vol = Change in Storage
• (Avg IF* t+P.A)-(AvgOF* t+E.A)= S
• 1 month = 30*24*60*60 = 2.592*106s
1. Avg IF* t
2. Avg OF* t
3.PA = Input due to Rainfall
4.EA = Loss due to Evaporation
5. S
6. Z = S/A
