Precipitation

The volume of precipitation falling on the pond or wetland during a given day is calculated:

Vpcp=10RdaySAV_{pcp}=10*R_{day}*SA 8:1.2.7

where VpcpV_{pcp} is the volume of water added to the water body by precipitation during the day (m3^3 H2_2O), RdayR_{day} is the amount of precipitation falling on a given day (mm H2_2O), and SASA is the surface area of the water body (ha).
