A reservoir created by a dam is filled by two streams. During the flood season the streams flow at 100 cfs and 120 cfs respectively. Also, during flood state a 4 foot diameter pipe can be opened to allow water to pass through the dam. If the water exiting the pipe is 15 ft/s, will the water level behind the dam be increasing or decreasing? Determine how much water is accumulating/exiting the reservoir. 1. ANSWER: 31.51 ft'ls
