Classification of Run-Off Losses | Run-Off Losses | Hydrology | Geology
The run-off losses are broadly classified as follows: 1. Evaporation Losses from Water-Surfaces 2. Percolation Losses. 1. Evaporation Losses from Water-Surfaces: The yield of a lake, imponding reservoir, river or canal will be reduced due to evaporation of water in the atmosphere. The quantity of water evaporated in the atmosphere will directly depend on the atmospheric pressure and site conditions [...]
