Water Balance The water balance of a location is the interactions of the input, precipitation (Precipl and output of moisture. Water in the system can be used, evapotranspiration (ET), held on to in the sol storage.or shed as runoff, surplus. Every location has a potential evapotranspiration (PEL which is the maximum possible amount of water the system can use in the month. The system also has an actual evapotranspiration (AE), which is how much water is sned by the system that month, The AE will be all available water up to the PE amount. When we do not have enough water in the system from precipitation to fulfil the PE amount water is taken from the soll storage. The soll has a maximum amount of water that it can hold in storage called the water holding capacity (WHC) if there is not enough water in the system between the precipitation and the storage to equal the PE we wilt have a deficit. If there is more water system than is required by PE the water is used to recharge bre the storage to the its maximum WHC Any water that remains after recharge is the surplan and flows out of the system If we have the monthly precipitation, PE, and a starting storage amount we can the calculate the locations water balance talite. To do this we take the folowing steps Calculate the difference between Predp and PE Diff-Precip-PE Calculate the current storage levet Storage Calculate the change in storage: A Storage Calculate the Al LIPE Previous month storage D Current month storage- Previous month storage Precippevious month storage then AE PE HPE Precip previous month storage then ALPrecip previous months storage Calculate the deficit Storage must 0 to have a deficit storage-0 then Def-PE-AE Calculate the surp 1-Storage must maximum WHC to have a surplus 1 storage-max WHC then Surplus Previn month storage current storage Diff
