A small drainage basin has an area of 8.7 km² and received 640 mm of precipitation in a given year. In the same year, the stream draining this basin had an average discharge of 1.3 x 106 m³ /yr. The basin has one inlet stream with an average annual discharge of 2.9 cfs and that there has been no change in water stored within the basin. Given that 1cfs= 0.028316847m³/s, compute the annual evaporation from the basin in m³ /yr
