The objective of the investigation was to establish the hydrologic regime of the drainage basin of the Lake Hertel giving proper considerations to the various phases of the hydrologic cycle. Constructional features included two measuring weirs for inflow to and a measuring weir for outflow from the Lake. Installation of a class "A" evaporation pan with all instrumentations were done to register all parameters to compute water surface evaporation. These were compared with results from empirical formulae. Comparative calculations concerning applicability of meteorological data of McGill University and St. Hubert Air Base meteorological stations were made. Rainfall - runoff relations were analysed measuring inflow by the two measuring weirs taking into account base flow and surface runoff. From such observational findings the derivation of a runoff coefficient for this area was aimed at. Complete computations for all phases of the analysis were tabulated in the text of the thesis.
