This problem is taken from the Dingman (2015) Physical Hydrology, 3rd Edition textbook. Source: Problem 6.1, page 307. "Measurements of water-balance components have been made for a one-year period on a lake with an area of 4.2km2, with the following results: P= precipitation =1083mm,Qin= streamflow into the lake =2.33107m3,GWin= groundwater inflow to the lake =2.2105m3,GWout= groundwater outflow from the lake =0.6105m3,Qout= streamflow out of the lake =2.70107m3. The lake-surface elevation, h, at the end of the year was 108mm higher than at the beginning; this is used to estimate the change in lake storage =S." Using the following equation, calculate the lake evaporation for that year in units of m3yr :
E=P+Qin+GWin-Qout-GWout-S
