In a given month, a lake of constant surface area 1,000,000 m2 has a mean inflow of 0.40 m3/s, an outflow of 0.34 m3/s and an increase in storage of 20,000 m3. A rain gauge aside the lake measured a total rainfall depth of 30 mm for this month. If we assume that other losses from the lake are insignificant, estimate the monthly evaporation of the lake.

Example 7.3 A circular island of 600 m radius has an effective rainfall of 5 mm/day. A central - well 30 cm in diameter is pumped at a constant rate of 30 m3/hr. K for the island aquifer is 25 m/day. The depth of sea around the island is 10 m. What is the drawdown in the well and at the water divide ?
During a month, the average rate of inflow and outflow in a reservoir of surface area of 20 km2 is 10 m3/s and 15 m3/s respectively. The monthly rainfall and seepage loss is 10 cm and 1.8 cm respectively and the change in storage is 16 million m3. Determine the evaporation (in cm) for the month.
The storage in the lake reach 75x103m3 . During that time the inflow is 15 m3 /s and the outflow is 21 m3 /s. after 3 hours the inflow and outflow are 23 m3 /s and 25 m3 /s. determine the ∆? during the 3 hours period and the storage volume after another 3 hours.

As a common tropical climate in Malaysia, heat and drought seasons will occur at a certain time, which also carries the heat wave phenomena. During this period, the amount of rainfall events is lesser and the evaporation process will take place at a higher rate than usual. Thus affects the available water storage of main catchment areas. As a knowledgeable hydrologist, this rate of evaporation is driven by several factors. Briefly explain on how the water quality, atmospheric pressure and water depth parameters may affect on the evaporation

15mm of precipitation fell in Akkaya reservoir in July. At the beginning of July (30 days), the surface area of the lakewas measured as 3 km². There is 9000000 m³ water in the lake before precipitation in July. At the beginning of August, the water volume in the lake was 8500000 m³. During July, Q=100 lt/s of water emerged from the reservoir. The water leaking from the ground is Q=36 lt/s throughout July. The water leaking in the same month is Q=48 lt/s. In July, 30 lt/s of water was drawn from the reservoir for 15 days to i dilate the campus area. However, in the same month, 1/3 of this water leaked and returned to the lake. During this month, the amount of water evaporating in the lake was determined as 110 mm/ m² .Calculate the flow of water coming into the reservoir as lt/s or m³/s.
A canal is 80 km long and has an average surface width of 15 m. If the evaporation measured in a class A pan is 0.5 cm/day,find the volume of water evaporated in a month of 30 days.
The plan area of a reservoir is 1 km2. The water level in the reservoir is observed to decline by 20 cm in a certain period. During this period, the reservoir receives a surface inflow of 10 ha-m and 20 ha-m are abstracted from the reservoir for irrigation and power. The pan evaporation and rainfall recorded during the same period at a nearby meteorological station are 12 cm and 3 cm respectively. The calibrated pan factor is 0.7. The seepage loss from the reservoir during this period in hectare-m is
