Specific Yield when Possible Recharge and Gross Water Draft is considered Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Specific Yield = (Possible Recharge+Gross Water Draft)/(Water Level Fluctuation*Watershed Area)
SY = (R+DG)/(h*A)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Specific Yield - Specific Yield tells how much water is available for Consumptive use.
Possible Recharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Possible Recharge is defined as the gross recharge minus the natural recharge of the area.
Gross Water Draft - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Gross Water Draft due to Rainfall and other sources.
Water Level Fluctuation - (Measured in Meter) - Water Level Fluctuation during monsoon season is an irregular rising and falling in number or amount of water.
Watershed Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Watershed Area is an isolated area with a well demarcated boundary line, draining the rainwater to a single outlet.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Possible Recharge: 70 Cubic Meter per Second --> 70 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Gross Water Draft: 10 Cubic Meter per Second --> 10 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Water Level Fluctuation: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Watershed Area: 20 Square Meter --> 20 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
SY = (R+DG)/(h*A) --> (70+10)/(5*20)
Evaluating ... ...
SY = 0.8
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.8 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.8 <-- Specific Yield
