orhuman muscles; thewind, operating on sail or windmill; and running

of machines, andalthoughwaterpower abounded in Lancashire and

Scotland and ran grain mills aswell astextile mills, it had one great

leave it? Water enters a lake from inflowing rivers, from underwater seeps

and springs, from overland flow off the surrounding land, and from rain

falling directly on the lake surface. Water leaves a lake via outflowing

rivers, by soaking into the bed of the lake, and by evaporation. So much

is obvious.

【2】The questions become more complicated when actual volumes of

water are considered: how much water enters and leaves by each route?

Discovering the inputs and outputs of rivers is a matter of measuring the

discharges of every inflowing and outflowing stream and river. Then

exchanges with the atmosphere are calculated by finding the difference

between the gains from rain, as measured (rather roughly) by rain gauges,
