Determine the annual precipitation in the basin

Reference no: EM13323288

It is estimated that 60% of the annual precipitation in a basin with a drainage area of20,000 acres is evaporated. If the average annual river flow at the outlet (runoff) is 2.5 cfs, determine the annual precipitation in the basin. Assume seepage and transpiration are negligible and there is no storage.
