Concept:

The volume of water evaporated (V) = E × L × B

Where, E = Evaporation measured per day, L = Stretch of evaporation  & B = Average surface width

Calculation:

Given, L = 80 km = 8 × 104

B = 15 m

Evaporation = 0.5 cm / day

Pan co-efficient = 0.7

Total volume of evaporation (V) = 8 × 104 × 15 × 0.5 x 10-2 × 0.7 × 30 m3

∴ V = 126000 m3
