For a given month of 30 days, a lake with a surface area of 300km² received an average inflow of 15m³/s from surface runoff source. In the same period the outflow from the lake had an average value of 13m³/s, and the increase in total storage was 16km²-cm. Further, in that month, the lake received a rainfall of 1.3cm based on precipitation data recorded by a raingauge located next to the lake. Assuming that infiltration from the lake is insignificant and can be neglected, estimate the evaporation loss (cm) over the lake.
