If net precipitation is {P} cm, the discharge is {Q} cm, and evapotranspiration is {E} cm, what is the change in storage? Please do not be alarmed by negative answers, the numbers in the question are randomly generated and this may lead to negative values for change in storage. Change in storage can be negative in real life as well. You may optionally upload your work as an attachment.
