The required time to refill a rectangular pond structure with dimensions of 15m x 35 m and a height of 1.5 m shall be 8 hours. The freeboard of the pond is 30 cm. The seepage and percolation rate combined is at 450 liters per hour and the evaporation rate at the water surface is at 55 liters per hour. Compute for the water flow rate at the gate if the conveyance efficiency of the canal leading to the pond is 92 percent.
