Conservation of mass and energy can be applied in solving hydro-climatic problems.

Category: Hydrology Output Type: Views TAG: News Type of Message: Message  Cover Feature :  The Water Balance or Budget Equation can be treated as the mother of all types of hydro-metereological equations.The equation is derived from Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy and states that inflow of water is equal to outflow of the same.If there exist an unequality,then it will contribute to the existing storage of water of the region.Precipitation and Inflows are accounted under Inflow and Runoff,Ground Water Outflow(contributed by infiltration) and Evapo-Transpiration is treated as Outflow.We can find any one of the variables from the equation if the other ones are already known.  Summary : Just use Water Budget Equation to solve most of your hydrologic problems Do You Know ?:  Subsurface Return Flow can be defined as that amount of water which ex-filtrate back to the surface after being infiltrated in the up-slope portion of the hill....
