The capacity-inflow ratio for a reservoir _________________

The capacity-inflow ratio for a reservoir _________________ Correct Answer decreases with time

The silting rate in the reservoir will be more in the beginning as its capacity reduces due to silting, the silting rate will also reduce. The trap efficiency is a function of capacity. The capacity reduces when trap efficiency reduces and lesser sediment is trapped.

During rainy season, huge inflow of water takes place into a reservoir. Measures are taken to clear the reservoir while water keeps flowing into it at a constant rate. It has been observed that seven and five men can clear the reservoir in 20 and 50 days, respectively, with the initial quantity of water in the reservoir being 24 and 36 kilolitres, respectively. What is the rate of inflow of water into the reservoir in litres per day?
The water level in a municipal reservoir has been decreasing steadily during a dry spell, and there is a concern that the drought could continue for another 60 days. The local water company estimates that the consumption rate in the city is approximately 107 L/day. The state conservation service estimates that rainfall and stream drainage into the reservoir coupled with evaporation from the reservoir should yield a net water input rate of 106 exp (-t/100) L/day, where t is the time in days from the beginning of the drought, at which time the reservoir contained an estimated 109 liters of water. Integrate the balance to calculate the reservoir volume at the end of the 60 days of continued drought.

An inlet pipe A originating from a river can fill a reservoir in 30 days. And an outlet pipe B, which is capable of emptying the completely filled reservoir in 50 days, drains out the water from the reservoir to an irrigation canal. The pipes are opened on alternate days starting with A. On which day form the beginning will the reservoir get completely filled for the first time?
