The Berg River Dam has a capacity of 130 million cubic metres of water when full, and a surface area of 4.88 sq
km. Suppose that the annual rate of evaporation of water from this dam is 1800 mm/year. If the surface area of the
dam does not change when water is lost by evaporation, calculate the following;
a) volume in million cubic metres of water lost by evaporation in one year
b) Assume that the amount of water lost through evaporation from the Berg River Dam was to supply a town with
an average water consumption per person of 100 litres/day. How many persons will be supplied with water per
year from the water that evaporates from this dam?
