Question: What are the different inflow and outflow processes in the context of water resource?

Answer: The water budget of a small or large region such as a village or district depends on the inflow and outflow of water in that region.

Inflow:

Inflow = Precipitation + surface flow + ground water flow
Surface flows includes rivers, streams, canals and other flows on the surface
of water bodies. Precipitation include rainflow, snow dew, hail etc. To estimate precipitation of an area, we take an average over many years, since precipitation varies from year to year. Ground water flow is difficult to estimate, but it can be done.

Outflow:

Evapotranspiration: The total amount of water added to the atmosphere from both evoparation and transpiration is called evapotranspiration.
Water flows out: Some amount of water would flow out of the village as surface flows through streams.

Transpiration:

Trees also give off water into the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis.
Water for agricultural use, domestic purpose and animal use. Water for industrial use. Water flowing out via surface flows and ground water.
