7 The Water Balance Conservation of Mass with Storage. Consider a watershed. We’d like to know, over the course of one month, how much water got added to the watershed, i.e. how much water got stored in it. We might care because we’re using that stored surface water for a water supply, or we might be worried that all that excess water will cause a flood.

8 One way of describing this would just be to add up all the things we can think of that add water to the system, and then subtract all the things that we can think of that remove water from the system. The difference would be the change in Storage: Inputs: P = precipitation I = inflow G = groundwater flow (could be an input, could be an output) Outputs: E = evaporation T = transpiration (these are commonly combined to make ET = E + T) R = surface runoff
