Water Budgets—Conservation of
Mass
• Mass is not created or destroyed
• What goes in – what comes out = change
in what’s inside
3:30
Apply conservation of mass to an
atm interaction

Starting balance: $2000
Deposit a check for $50
Take out $30
Ending balance: $2020
$50

ATM
$2000 in
account
What goes in – what comes out =
change in what’s inside (final balance –
initial balance)
$50 – $30 = $2020 - $2000

A dollar is easier to track than a
unit of water
• Water is “incompressible”
• a unit volume of water is not created or
destroyed
• Must define boundaries to apply equation
(control volume)
5:15
Time must be considered as well
• Often times, inflows and outflows are
measured as flow rates
• The change in storage must therefore also
be specified over some length of time
6:20
Try it for a Britta Filter
• How long can you leave your Britta pitcher
filling in the sink before it starts
overflowing?
6:50
Draw a Control Volume
7:00
Some Numbers
• Inflow, Qin = 2.5 gpm
• Outflow, Qout = 1 gpm
(note, this is a cheat. The
outflow flow rate increases
as the chamber fills)
• Chamber dimensions:
8” tall, 24 in2 cross
sectional area
• 1 cubic in = 0.00433
gals
8:40
The Equation
• What goes in – what
comes out = change
in what’s inside
• Qin – Qout = dV/dt
• Work with a partner to
figure it out
Feel free to ask someone else if you
get stuck (there are different approaches)
• Inflow, Qin = 2.5 gpm
• Outflow, Qout = 1 gpm
(note, this is a cheat. The
outflow flow rate increases
as the chamber fills)
• Chamber dimensions:
8” tall, 24 in2 cross
sectional area
• 1 cubic in = 0.00433
gals
Qin – Qout = dV/dt
12:30
The Answer
• Initial volume = 0
• Final volume = 24 in2 * 8” = 192 in3
• Convert to gallons:
192 in3 * (0.00433 gal/1 in3) = 0.83
gal
• Apply equation:
2.5 gpm – 1 gpm = 0.83 gal/x min
• Solve equation:
x min = 0.83 gal/(1.5 gpm) = 0.55
min or about 30 second

What Is Unimpaired Inflow?
26:25
Why Might We Want to Calculate It
• If you want to model different operational
scenarios, you need to know how much
water is reaching the river via runoff (as
opposed to upstream operations)
• Also gives information about flow in the
river without the presence of reservoirs
(possible point of comparison)

ET: Multiply by average surface area for the day (see SAE) = 2026 acres
0.3” * 2026 acres = 0.025’ * 2026 acres = 50.7 af in one day
Outflow: 100 cfs * 1.98 af/day / 1cfs = 198 af/day
Demands: 50 mgd * 1 af/day / 3.069 mgd = 16 af/day
I = 50.7 af/day + 198 af/day + 16 af/day + (11957 af – 9930 af)/day = 2292 af/day
This is 747 mgd
