Hydrology deals with the waters of the earth, their occurrence, circulation and distribution, their chemical and physical properties, and their reaction with their environment, including their relation to living things (Linsley 1983). It encompasses the full life history of water on the earth. It is essential, particularly for engineers, technical personnel who are engaged in the design, planning or construction of irrigation structures, bridges & highway culverts, flood control works, water harvesting systems, etc.. It helps to answer critical questions during the planning of water resource projects. For example: What flood flows can be expected over a spillway, at a highway culvert, or in an urban storm drainage? What reservoir capacity is required to ensure adequate water supply for irrigation or municipal water supply during droughts? What effect on the river water levels will be produced after the construction of proposed reservoirs, levees, or any controlling structures? Specifically to the Water harvesting scheme, it is employed to: Make rainfall analysis Estimate runoff from catchments Prognose water supply to crops per unit time Determine peak discharge for spillway design
Water balance (budget) is a balance sheet of all the water entering and leaving a particular catchment or drainage basin. It is used to compute one missing parameter, mostly for evapo-transpiration. In the water balance equation the sign of U (underground outflow) can be positive or negative according to the direction of flow of water between the stream and the ground water zone. For effluent streams, where there is flow of water from the groundwater zone to the stream, the sign of U will be positive. However, for influent streams, where the flow of water is from the streams to the groundwater zone, U will take a negative sign.
