Question: In a given year, a river basin ( watershed ) with an area of 2 5 0 0 km 2 received 1 3 0 cm

In a given year, a river basin (watershed) with an area of 2500 km2 received 130 cm of precipitation.
The average rate of flow measured in a gage at the rivers outlet from the watershed was 30 m3/sec.
Estimate the water losses due to the combined effects of evaporation, transpiration, and infiltration to
groundwater. How much runoff reached the river for the year, in both m3 and cm (over the watershed
area). Assume storage did not change over the course of the year.
