During a particular 30-days period, the streamflow flowing into a reservoir averaged 5.0 cubic meter per second. Water supply withdrawals from the reservoir averaged 136 mgd (million gallon per day). The only other outflow from the reservoir was 9.4 cm of evaporation from the reservoir water surface. The average water surface area of the reservoir during the 30 days was 3.75 sq.km. The reservoir had 12,560 ac-ft of water in storage at the beginning of the 30-days period. Determine the storage content at the end of the 30 days in units cu.m.
