Water Storage Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Storage Capacity = (Water Stored in Root Zone/Field Capacity)*100
η_s = (w_s/W_n)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Water Storage Capacity - Water storage capacity is defined as the amount of water available for plant growth in the soil. It therefore depends on the water holding capacity and the depth or volume of soil.
Water Stored in Root Zone - Water stored in root zone accounts for the water losses which occur in conveyance from the point of diversion into the canal system to the field.
Field Capacity - Field capacity is the amount of water retained by the soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Stored in Root Zone: 2723 --> No Conversion Required
Field Capacity: 3300 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_s = (w_s/W_n)*100 --> (2723/3300)*100

Evaluating ... ...

η_s = 82.5151515151515

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

82.5151515151515 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

82.5151515151515 ≈ 82.51515 <-- Water Storage Capacity

What are the 4 water storage?

Water can be stored in the atmosphere, on the surface of the Earth, or underground. These water storage areas are most commonly known as reservoirs. Natural reservoirs include oceans, glaciers and ice sheets, groundwater, lakes, soil moisture, wetlands, living organisms, the atmosphere, and rivers.

What are different types of water storage?

The different types of water storage are
1. Groundwater.
2. Soil moisture.
3. Wetlands.
4. Ponds and tanks.
5. Dams and reservoirs.
