A 600-ha farmland receives annual rainfall of 2500 mm. There is a river flowing through the farmland with an inflow rate of 5 m3/s and outflow rate of 4 m3/s. The annual water storage is the farmland increases by 2.5 x 106 m3. Based on the hydrologic budget equation, determine the annual evapotranspiration amount in mm. (1 ha

E = 7333.33 mm

Explanation:

The annual evapotranspiration (E) amount can be calculated using the water budget equation:

  (1)

Where:

P: is the precipitation = 2500 mm,

Q(in): is the water flow into the river of the farmland = 5 m³/s,

ΔS: is the change in water storage = 2.5x10⁶ m³,  

Q(out): is the water flow out of the river of the farmland = 4 m³/s.

Δt: is the time interval = 1 year = 3.15x10⁷ s

A: is the surface area of the farmland = 6.0x10⁶ m²  

Solving equation (1) for ET we have:

Therefore, the annual evapotranspiration amount is 7333.33 mm.
