Answer:
The estimated evaporation is 51340 cubic meters.
Explanation:
Let suppose that precipitation is very small in comparison with depth of the Clear Lake. The monthly change in the volume of the lake (), in cubic meters, is estimated by the following formula:
(1)
Where:
- Surface area of the lake, in square meters.
- Water precipitation, in meters.
- Average water inflow, in cubic meters per second.
- Average water outflow, in cubic meters per second.
- Monthly time, in seconds.
- Evaporation, in cubic meters.
If we know that , , , , and , then the estimated evaporation is:
(2)
The estimated evaporation is 51340 cubic meters.
