1.7 The plan area of a reservoir is 1 km2. The water level in the reservoir is observed to decline by 20 cm in a certain period. During this period the reservoir receives a surface inflow of 10 hectare- meters, and 20 hectare-meters are abstracted from the reservoir for irrigation and power. The pan evaporation and rainfall recorded during the same period at a nearby meteorological station are 12 cm and 3 cm respectively. The calibrated pan factor is 0.7. The seepage loss from the reservoir during this period in hectare-meters is (a) 0.0 (b) 10
