Question: In a given ( non leap ) year, a watershed with a surface area of 9 8 0 m i 2 received 5 2 inches

In a given (non leap) year, a watershed with a surface area of 980mi2 received 52 inches of
precipitation and there are no other inflows to the watershed over this period. The average
streamflow measured at a gaging station at the outlet of the watershed was 1,060cfs over the
year. You may assume that there is negligible storage in the watershed. Estimate the total volume
of water losses due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration (ETI, in
cfs, Ac-ft/year, Ac-ft/day). Then calculate the streamflow in units of inches/year and identify the
percentage of precipitation that became streamflow (or runoff).
