Change in Moisture Storage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Change in Moisture Storage = Precipitation-Surface Runoff-Subsurface Outflow-Actual Evapotranspiration
ΔS = P-S_r-G_o-E_act
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Change in Moisture Storage - (Measured in Meter) - Change in Moisture Storage is the total amount of water that is stored within the specified reservoir or catchment area.
Precipitation - (Measured in Meter) - Precipitation is the primary water input to the hydrologic cycle and is evaluated for all water budget calculations.
Surface Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Surface Runoff water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources, that flows over the land surface, and is a major component of the water cycle.
Subsurface Outflow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Subsurface Outflow is the flow of water beneath earth's surface as part of the water cycle.
Actual Evapotranspiration - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual Evapotranspiration is the quantity of water that is actually removed from a surface due to the processes of evaporation and transpiration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Precipitation: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Runoff: 0.05 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.05 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Subsurface Outflow: 0.07 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.07 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Actual Evapotranspiration: 0.16 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.16 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔS = P-S_r-G_o-E_act --> 0.3-0.05-0.07-0.16

Evaluating ... ...

ΔS = 0.02

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.02 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.02 Meter <-- Change in Moisture Storage

Runoff given Change in Moisture Storage

Go Surface Runoff = -(Change in Moisture Storage-Precipitation+Subsurface Outflow+Actual Evapotranspiration)

Subsurface Outflow given Change in Moisture Storage

Go Subsurface Outflow = Precipitation-Change in Moisture Storage-Surface Runoff-Actual Evapotranspiration

Precipitation given Change in Moisture Storage

Go Precipitation = Change in Moisture Storage+Surface Runoff+Subsurface Outflow+Actual Evapotranspiration

Change in Moisture Storage

Go Change in Moisture Storage = Precipitation-Surface Runoff-Subsurface Outflow-Actual Evapotranspiration

Actual Evapotranspiration

Go Actual Evapotranspiration = Precipitation-Change in Moisture Storage-Surface Runoff-Subsurface Outflow

Aridity Index

Go Aridity Index = ((Daily Potential Evapotranspiration-Actual Evapotranspiration)/Daily Potential Evapotranspiration)*100

Actual Evapotranspiration given Aridity Index

Go Actual Evapotranspiration = Daily Potential Evapotranspiration-(Aridity Index*Daily Potential Evapotranspiration/100)

Change in Moisture Storage Formula

Change in Moisture Storage = Precipitation-Surface Runoff-Subsurface Outflow-Actual Evapotranspiration
ΔS = P-S_r-G_o-E_act

What is Surface Runoff?

Surface Runoff is the flow of water occurring on the ground surface when excess rainwater, storm-water, meltwater, or other sources, can no longer sufficiently rapidly infiltrate in the soil.

How to Calculate Change in Moisture Storage?

Change in Moisture Storage calculator uses Change in Moisture Storage = Precipitation-Surface Runoff-Subsurface Outflow-Actual Evapotranspiration to calculate the Change in Moisture Storage, The Change in Moisture Storage refers to the change in water storage where water in the system resides or rests as it moves from one water reservoir to another. Change in Moisture Storage is denoted by ΔS symbol.

How to calculate Change in Moisture Storage using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Change in Moisture Storage, enter Precipitation (P), Surface Runoff (S_r), Subsurface Outflow (G_o) & Actual Evapotranspiration (E_act) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Change in Moisture Storage calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.02 = 0.3-0.05-0.07-0.16.
