Consider the following assumed data for the Kourris Reservoir Dam in Cyprus:
The dimensions of the lake are approximately km in length by km in width.
The inflow to the dam, for the month of April, was measured at million cubic meters, while an outflow of can be assumed.
The total precipitation for the same month was measured to be mm
The average air temperature during that time was while the water temperature was on average at The wind speed averaged at our and the relative humidity was at about
Assume that the area is characterized by Dothan loamy sand soils, which allow water to seep into the dam at a specific rate. Also assume that the total rain received in the area was witnessed during three separate main storm events, each of which lasted hours; therefore, you would expect some seepage into the dam during those storm events.
Finally, you can also assume a loss of water from the dam, due to seepage out of the dam ie losses to the ground to have been at about cm during the same time period.
Estimate the change in storage in million cubic meters in the dam during the month of April.
