2. The storage in a river reach at a specified time is 3 hectare-meters. At the same instant, the inflow to the reach is 15 m3/s and the outflow is 20 m3/s. One hour later, the inflow is 20 m3/s and the outflow is 20.5 m3/s. Determine the change in storage in the reach that occurred, during the hour. What is the storage at the end of the hour? (1 hectare = 10000 m2).

The change in storage in the reach that occurred, during the hour  = 43200 m3

The storage at the end of the hour = 129600 m3

Explanation:

Given

Storage =  3 hectare-meters

Inflow volume = 15 m3/s

Outflow volume = 20 m3/s

Storage in one hour of change

Inflow volume = 20 m3/s

Outflow volume = 20.5 m3/s

Outflow volume - Inflow volume = 0.5 m3/s = 0.5 * 24*60 * 60 = 43200 m3

Storage at the end of one hour

43200 m3 + (20-15) * 24*60 * 60 = 129600 m3
