Central Luzon State University COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL AND BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING ABEN 3410 - Hydrometeorology INTRODUCTION Carolyn Grace G. Somera Professor Hydrology Is ‘the science or study of’ (‘logy’ from Latin logia) ‘water’ (‘hydro’ from Greek hudor). It is the science dealing with the occurrence, circulation, distribution, properties and reactions with the environment of waters of the Earth. http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/clm/images/hydrology.jpg Branches of Hydrology Chemical Study of chemical characteristics of water Hydrology Chemistry of water in rivers and lakes, both of Water Quality pollutants and natural solutes Study of interactions of living organisms and the Eco Hydrology hydrologic cycle Study of the distribution and movement of Hydrogeology groundwater in the soils and rocks of the Earth’s crust Branches of Hydrology Study of the transfer of water and energy Hydrometeorology between land and water body surfaces and the lower atmosphere Surface Study of hydrologic processes that operate at or Hydrology near Earth's surface Drainage Basin Covers water-storage, in the form of reservoirs, Management and flood-protection Meteorology Comes from the Greek word Atmospheric water in the form of clouds ‘meteõros’ meaning ‘high in the air’.

It also decreases the amount of water which returns to groundwater storage. Human Activities Affecting the Hydrologic Cycle and Watershed Mining Lead to reduced vegetation cover leading to increased run-off, higher evapotranspiration and cloud formation altering the rainfall pattern.

At the same month, lake received an average inflow of 6 cms (m3/s) from surface runoff sources. For the same period, the outflow from the lake had an average value of 6.5 cms. Further, in the same month the lake received a rainfall of 145 mm and losses due to evaporation of 6.1 cm. Assume the area of the lake is 5000 ha and assume no contribution from ground water storage. What is the water surface elevation of the lake after the month? Given: Area = 5,000 ha Time/Duration = 1 month = 30 days Initial water surface elevation = 103.2m Runoff Inflow = 6 cms Inflows: rainfall and runoff inflow Runoff outflow = 6.5 cms Rainfall = 145 mm Evaporation = 6.1 cm Outflows: evaporation and runoff outflow Assume no ground water flow Calculate the new water level, that is, 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐿𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 = 𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 ± ∆𝑆 Solve the change in storage using the equation: ±∆𝑆 = 𝑃 + 𝑅𝑖𝑛 − 𝑅𝑜𝑢𝑡 + 𝐺𝑖𝑛 − 𝐺𝑜𝑢𝑡 − 𝐸𝑇 ±∆𝑆 = 𝑃 + ∆𝑅 + ∆𝐺 − 𝐸𝑇 Eliminate groundwater flow since it is assume to be zero. ±∆𝑆 = 𝑃 + 𝑅𝑖𝑛 − 𝑅𝑜𝑢𝑡 − 𝐸𝑇 ±∆𝑆 = 𝑃 + 𝑅𝑖𝑛 − 𝑅𝑜𝑢𝑡 − 𝐸𝑇 Before using the equation, remember to make their units consistent.

𝑅𝑖𝑛 = 311.04𝑚𝑚 𝑅𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 336.96𝑚𝑚 New water level = initial water level + ∆𝑆 𝑃 = 145𝑚𝑚 𝐸𝑇 = 61𝑚𝑚 New water level = 103.2m + 0.05808m = 103.258 m above the datum ±∆𝑆 = 145 + 311.04 − 336.96 − 61 ±∆𝑆 = 58.08𝑚𝑚 Sample Problem No. 2 A lake has an area of 10 km2. During a specific month the lake evaporation was 90 mm. During the same month the inflow to the lake from a river was on average 1.1 m3/s and the outflow from the lake via another river was on average 1.2 m3/s. Also, for the same month a water level increase of 100 mm for the lake was observed. What is the precipitation during the month? Assume: no groundwater flow. Quiz No. 1 A small catchment basin with area of 150 ha received a rainfall of 10.5 cm in 90 minutes due to storm. At the outlet of the catchment, the stream draining the basin was dry before the storm and later experience a runoff lasting for 10 hrs with an average discharge of 1.5 cms when rainfall occurs. The stream was then again dry after the runoff event. a) determine the amount of water which was not available to runoff due to combined effect of infiltration, evaporation and transpiration, b) what is the ratio of runoff to precipitation? References Subramanya, K.
