Seepage

The volume of water lost by seepage through the bottom of the reservoir on a given day is calculated:

$V_{seep}=240*K_{sat}*SA$ 8:1.1.7

where $V_{seep}$ is the volume of water lost from the water body by seepage (m$^3$ H$_2$O), $K_{sat}$ is the effective saturated hydraulic conductivity of the reservoir bottom (mm/hr), and $SA$ is the surface area of the water body (ha).
