A hydroelectric plant has a reservoir of area 2km² and of capacity 5 million cubic meters. The net head of water at the turbine is 50 m. If the efficiencies of turbine and generator are 85% and 95% respectively, calculate the total energy kWh that can be generated from this station. If a load of 15000kW has been supplied for 4 hours, find the fall in reservoir.
