WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING: Measurements of a water-balance have been made for a one-year period on a lake with an area of 0.8 km2 with the following results: P = 1400 mm, Qsi = 0.15 m3s-1 and Qso = 0.17m3s-1. The lake surface elevation, h, at the end of the year was 45mm lower than at the beginning. What is the estimate (in mm) of the lake evaporation for that year?
