1. The evaporation losses from a reservoir with a surface area of 500 acres are 150 Ac-ft per day. If the average outflow from the reservoir is 50 cfs during the day, determine the change in water level from the reservoir (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases). You may assume there are not any streams flowing into the reservoir. If the reservoir described above received precipitation of 3 inches over the course of a day, calculate the change in water level (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases).

1.
The evaporation losses from a reservoir with a surface area of 500 acres are 150 Ac-ft per day. If
the average outflow from the reservoir is 50 cfs during the day, determine the change in water
level from the reservoir (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases). You may assume
there are not any streams flowing into the reservoir.
If the reservoir described above received precipitation of 3 inches over the course of a day,
calculate the change in water level (in feet, indicate whether it increases or decreases).
