The annual evaporation from a lake is found to be 125 cm. If the lake’s surface area is 12 km2, what is the daily evaporation rate in centimeters and inches?
The daily evaporation rate can be computed by the equation given below.
…… (1)
Here,
The surface area of the lake is.
The annual evaporation from the lake is 125 cm.
Substitute, the values in equation (1), we get-
Hence, the evaporation rate in centimeters is and in inches is.
