2
To assist the students to develop and enhance the ability and knowledge in
main hydrological concepts such as
1. hydrological cycle2. water balance equation
3
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
• Define hydrology.• Apply fundamental knowledge of
hydrology particularly use in civil and environmental engineering.
• Apply water balance equation as the base of a modeling of hydrology which covers processes of precipitation, evaporation, infiltration, runoff and groundwater.
4
HydrologyHydrology
• is a multidisciplinary subject that deals with the occurrence, circulation, storage, and distribution of surface and ground water on the earth.
• The domain of hydrology includes the physical, chemical, and biological reactions of water in natural and man-made environments.
5
Hydrology is…. • a science that studies the
availability and movement of water in the earth.
• also defined as a science related to the occurrence and distribution of natural water on the earth.
• hydrology covers many type of water, including transformation among liquid, solid and gas in atmosphere, surface and subsurface land.
6
To civil and environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, and other earth scientists because of the environmental significance of
water supply, major floods droughts drainage and urban stormwater
7
Hydrologic cycle Hydrologic cycle is a continuous process in which water is evaporated from water surfaces and oceans, moves inland as moist air masses, and produce precipitation if the correct vertical lifting conditions exist. The precipitation that falls from clouds onto the land surface of the earth is dispersed to the hydrologic cycle via several pathways (Fig.1-1).

Sketch of Movement of Water on the Land Surface
A watershed is a contiguous (sharing a boundary) area that drains to an outlet, such that precipitation that falls within the watershed runs off through that single outlet.

Water Balance Equation
In quantitative terms, hydrology cycle can be represented by a closed equation which represents the principle of conservation of mass. And many forms of this expression, called the water balance.
Water balance equation is the base of a modelling of hydrology.

Volume of water in the world 1,358 million km3.
Volume of fresh water 2.8 %, most of fresh water are in the form of ice and glacier
Fresh water of groundwater, lake, cloud and rain 8.54 million km3 or only 0.63%.

where: I = inflow [L3/t]
Q = outflow [L3/t]dS/dt = change in storage per time [L3/t]
18
The same concept can be applied to small basins or large watersheds
P – R – G – E – T = ΔS where:
P = precipitation, R = surface runoff, G = groundwater flow,
E = evaporation, T = transpiration,ΔS = change in storage in a specified time
period.

For a given month, a 121 ha lake has 0.43 m3/s of inflow, 0.37 m3/s of outflow, and total storage increase of 1.97 ha-m. A USGS gage next to the lake recorded a total of 3.3 cm precipitation for the lake for the month. Assuming that infiltration loss is insignificant for the lake, determine the evaporation loss, in cm, over the lake for the month.
Solution: Solving the water balance for inflow I and outflow Q in a lake gives,
for evaporation, E = I – O + P – ΔS,

A swimming pool (6m 6m 1.5m) has a small leak at the bottom. Measurements of rainfall, evaporation, and water level are taken daily for 10 days to determine what should be done for repair. Estimate the average daily leakage out of the swimming pool in cm3/day. Assume the pool is exactly 1.5 m deep at the end of day 1.

Solution
The water balance equation becomes: O = P – E – ΔSTotal change in storage, S = 1,321 – 1,524 = -203 mmTotal precipitation, P = 25.4 + 50.8 + 101.6 = 177.8 mmEvaporation, E = (7) (12.7) = 88.9 mm
Thus, outflow,O = 177.8 – 88.9 – (-203) = 291.9 mm
Outflow should be in cm3/day. The height change is distributed over the pool area. Q =

Hydrology is the science of water.
It embraces the occurrence, distribution, movement and properties of the waters of the earth.
A mathematical accounting system may be constructed for the inputs, outputs and water storages of a region so that a history of water movement over time can be estimated.
