Question

A reservoir with as surface area of 300 hectares had the following average values of climate parameters during a week:

• Water temperature = 36°C

• Relative humidity = 30%

• Wind velocity at 1.0 m above ground surface = 20 km/h

Estimate the average daily evaporation from the lake by using Meyer’s Formula.

?? = ?? (?? − ??)( ? + ?? /??)

?? = coefficient accounting for various other factors 0.36 for large deep waters 0.50 for small, shallow water

?? = ? (? ^? /?)
