Everything about Water Balance totally explained

» Note: The Water Balance method is also a winding mechanism used in mining

In hydrology, a water balance equation can be used to describes the flow of water in and out of a system. A system can be one of several hydrological domains, such as a column of soil or a drainage basin.

Equation

A general water balance equation is: » P = Q + E + Delta S

where » P is precipitation


   Q is runoff » E is evapotranspiration


   Delta S is the change in storage (in soil or the bedrock)
   A water balance can be used to help manage water supply and predict where there may be water shortages. It is also used in irrigation, flood control and pollution control.
   The water balance can be illustrated using a water balance graph which plots levels of precipitation and evapotranspiration often on a monthly scale.
   Several monthly water balance models had been developed for several conditions and purposes. Monthly water balance models had been studied since the 1940s.

Diagnosis of water balance models

Several diagnostic measures in hydrology can be used to select and evaluate the performance of water balance models

Applications

Types

  • Models using precipitation (rainfall) as input
  • Models using rainfall and temperature as input
  • Models using rainfall and potential evaporation as input
  • Models using daily input dataFurther Information
