Not all the water (normally!) makes it to the lake, and the average rain over time is probably less than that. Otherwise, no, the math looks fine, but this is why the reservoir is useful as a flood-control system. It can take the fairly large flow caused by even moderate rain, and spread it out over time.
Things get iffy once you have heavy rain for long enough that the soil saturates.
