Water Balance/Budget
dS/dt = I – O
Where
dS/dt = change in storage per time
I = inflow
O = outflow

Topography, especially the slope of the land
Drainage network patterns
Ponds, lakes, reservoirs, sinks, etc. in the basin,
which prevent or delay runoff from continuing
downstream

Most runoff…
Drains to a creek
– To a stream
To a river
– To an ocean
– Rarely runoff drains to a closed lake
– May be diverted for human uses

3 types of measurement
– Depth
mm,cm,m, inch, ft
Total rainfall, river depth, evaporation
– Volume
cm3,m3,liter, ft3,meter hectare, km3
Rainfall volume in tank, water requirement, ocean
volume
– Flowrate
L/s, L/min, m3/s
Stream flowrate, flow in pipe

GPM
– Gallons per minute (GPM) is the typical unit for
production from wells. A typical well will product 20-100
GPM while very large wells will produce 2000 or more
GPM.
MGD:
– Millions of gallons per day (MGD) is a typical unit for
water treatment plants and sewage treatment plants. A
small plant might be 1-10 MGD while a large plant might
be 100-200 MGD.
24
Units of Flow
CMS:
– Cubic meters per second is not as common in
the U.S. but is common everywhere else.

CONVERSION FACTORS
Distance:
1 meter = 3.281 feet.
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 kilometer = 1,000 meters = 1,000,000 mm.
Volume
1 cubic meter = 264.2 gallons.
1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons, 28.32 liters.
1 liter = .2642 gallons.
1 acre foot = 325,851 gallons.
31
CONVERSION FACTORS
Weight:
1 kg = 2.205 pounds.
1 cubic decimeter = 1 kg.
1 gallon = 8.33 pounds
1 cubic foot = 62.31 pounds
Velocity:
1 meter/sec = 2.237 mi/hr.
1 foot/sec = 1.097 km/hr.
Other factors.
1 inch of run-off per hour from one acre = 1 cubic
foot per second of flow.
32
CONVERSION FACTORS
Flow
1 cubic meter per second = 35.32 cubic feet per
second
1 cubic foot per second for 1 day = 1.98 acre feet.
Conversion factors metric to U.S. Customary\
1 hectare = 2.471 acres, 10,000 square meters.
1 acre = 43,560 square feet.
