Question: Hydrologic mass balance ( 1 5 points ) : Use a hydrologic mass balance to solve the following: a . ( 1 0 ) A

Hydrologic mass balance (15 points): Use a hydrologic mass balance to solve the following:
a.(10) A lake is approximately 15km in length by 5km in width. The inflow for the month of August is 3.5m3s and the outflow is 2.15m3s. The total monthly precipitation is 20.5cm and the evaporation is 8.2cm. The seepage (infiltration) is estimated to be 1.35cm. Estimate the change in storage (in m3) during the month of August.
b.(5) Assume that you want to use this lake as a water supply source and you can control the outflow in the lake. Under the same conditions (i.e., same inflow, precipitation, infiltration, and evaporation), how much water can you extract in August (volume) while maintaining steady state conditions in the lake?
