- Use ONLINE WATER BALANCE to calculate average annual values of: (1) baseflow U, (2)
wetting W, (3) vaporization V,
(4) runoff coefficient Kr, and (5) baseflow coefficient Ku.
- Based on average values for the entire period of record,
what kind of ecosystem/climate is likely to prevail in the Sarada river basin?
