Solve the following: To determine the daily evaporation at lake, a USWB evaporation pan is maintained. The water level in the pan is 200mm at the beginning and is observed every day. Water is added if the water falls to about 17.5cm to the same depth during the first day. Estimate the daily pan evaporation for the 14-day period for which readings are summarized in the following table

For an irrigation project for an area of 10.000 km2 water has to be transported to compensate for natural evaporation. The total evaporation per year is the equivalent to a yearly rainfall of 30 cm. The water flows through an open channel of 100 km length from a lake 100 m higher than the irrigation area. The transport channel is 3 m deep but the water level is just 2 m. The channel has a rectangular shape and a friction factor of 4.10-3. Make an estimate about how wide the channel should be assuming steady-state conditions. The width of the channel is significantly larger compared to the water level height in the channel.

WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING: Evaporation The temperature and relative humidity for the month of October have the following values: Mean air temperature at 4m: 18o C Maximum lake temperature: 13.5o C Maximum pan temperature: 15o C Relative humidity: 35% During the month, the evaporation measured from the pan was 9.2 cm. Determine the monthly evaporation from the lake by: a. The simple formula, assuming K = 0.75 b. The refined formula, assuming K' = 1.5 c. Solve for lake evaporation using the Aerodynamic method for evaporation using the actual vapor pressure at 4m. The wind speed at 4 m is 2.5 m/s and z0 is 0.04 cm. For calculating the saturation vapor pressure at the surface, assume mean lake temperature to be 80% of the maximum.
