1. On January 1, a lake with a surface area of 10,000 hectares has a water surface elevation of 50.15 m above the elevation datum. During the month of January, the average: inflow to the lake is 10.0 m³/s and the average outflow from the lake is 8.5 m³/s. Total rainfall and evaporation are 30.0 cm and 5.0 cm, respectively. Assume that there is no infiltration or groundwater discharge. Write the hydrologic budget for the lake and calculate its water surface elevation (in m above the elevation datum) at the end of January. Round to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

1. A lake has a water surface elevation of 84.50m above datum at the beginning of a certain month. In that month the lake received an average inflow of 8.5 m³/s from surface runoff sources. In the same period the outflow from the lake had an average value of 5.6 m³/s. Further in that month, the lake received a rainfall of 160mm and the evaporation from the lake surface was estimated as 7.10 cm. Write the water budget equation for the lake and calculate the water surface elevation of the lake at the end of the month. The average lake surface area can be taken as 6,500 hectares. Assume that there is no contribution to or from groundwater storage.
