Question
A standard, ground-based evaporation pan, corresponding to Indian Standards, is installed at the banks of a surface reservoir. The water surface area on a particular day is 100 hectares. The recorded evaporation loss from the pan, on a certain day, is nearly 4.0 cm. What is the anticipated evaporation loss from the reservoir for that day?
A.
(1.8 to 2) × 104 m³ per day
B.
(2.5 to 2.75) × 104 m³ per day
C.
(3.0 to 3.25) × 104 m³ per day
D.
(3.8 to 4.05) × 104 m³ per day
Answer ( Option C)

(3.0 to 3.25) × 104 m³ per day

Solution

Reservoir evaporation 
= Cp × Pan evaporation 
where, Cp = Pan coefficient 
= 0.80 (for ISI standard Pan) 
Reservoir evaporation for the day 
= 0.80 × 4.0 × 10-2 × 100 × 104 
= 32000 m³/day
