Mining Water Balance Reiknivél

Estimate a mining site water balance from inflæði, drainage, reuse, evaporation, and storage change in one place.

Period totals, daily averages, a waterfall chart, and shareable URLs stay in the browser.

Safety notes

All calculations happen in this browser and nothing is sent to a server.

  • This is a quick balance check, not a hydroskráy or permitting model.
  • Evaporation is estimated from area and simple climate factors, so use measured data when you have it.
  • Check the unit kerfi before sharing a niðurstaða.

What this verkfæri shows

A fast summary for meetings and skýrslas.

  • Period total and daily average are derived from the same calculation.
  • Climate zone and local conditions adjust the evaporation estimate.
  • Shareable URLs can reproduce the current state.

How to use it

  1. Choose the skýrslaing period and unit kerfi.
  2. Enter area, climate, inflæði, drainage, reuse, and storage change.
  3. Load a sample if you want a starting point.
  4. Yfirferð the waterfall chart, breakdown tafla, and share URL.

Examples

Inntak / Úttak

Metric quick check

Inntak

10,000 m² open water area, 15,000 m³ inflæði, 12,000 m³ drainage, 4,500 m³ reuse, 800 m³ storage increase

Úttak

Evaporation is about 900 m³, net balance is about +5,800 m³, and reuse share is about 23%.

Imperial quick check

Inntak

1 acre open water area, 500,000 US gal inflæði, 650,000 US gal drainage, 120,000 US gal reuse, 40,000 US gal storage increase

Úttak

Evaporation is about 288,700 US gal and net balance is about -358,700 US gal.

Formulas

  • tempFactor = clamp(1 + (temperature - 20) × 0.025, 0.65, 1.45)
  • humidityFactor = clamp(1 - (humidity - 50) × 0.0035, 0.55, 1.25)
  • climateFactor = clamp(tempFactor × humidityFactor × windFactor × sunFactor, 0.5, 1.8)
  • evaporation = area × depth × period
  • net balance = inflow + reuse - drainage - evaporation - storage change

Glossary

Period total
The total volume over the selected skýrslaing period.
Daily average
The period total divided by the number of days.
Climate factor
A simple multiplier that adjusts the base evaporation depth.
Storage change
Water added to or removed from storage during the period.

Algengar spurningar

Is this a replacement for a water balance model?

No. It is a quick skýrslaing and samanburður verkfæri.

How is evaporation estimated?

The verkfæri multiplies a base depth by simple climate factors and the open water area.

Can I bera saman periods in different unit kerfis?

Yes. The same inntak state can be shared with a URL, and the unit kerfi is stored with it.

Can I leave the open water area at zero?

Yes. Evaporation becomes zero and the rest of the balance still works.

Athugasemdir

  • This verkfæri is for quick balance checks and skýrslas, not detailed hydroskráy.
  • If the climate looks extreme, treat the evaporation estimate as a rough guide.
  • Drainage that is much larger than inflæði plus reuse usually means a unit mistake.
  • Use the same unit kerfi when you bera saman runs.
