A lake has a surface area of 70.8 ha. For the month of April the inflow was 1.5 m3/s. The dam regulated the outflow (discharge) from the lake to be 1.25 m3/s. If the precipitation recorded for the month was 7.62 cm and the storage volume increased by an estimated 650,000 m3, what is the estimated evaporation in m3 and cm? Assume that no water infiltrates out of the bottom of the lake and the density of water is constant. a. Draw the control volume and the mass balance of water on the lake b. Solve for E
