Q2. A flowrate of 1.2 m³/s is supplied from a drinking water dam lake (reservoir), which has been fed by two streams having a flowrate of 0.7 m³/s and 0.8 m³/s, respectively. It was determined that there was a decrease of 8 cm in the water level in this dam lake, which has a surface area of 400 ha, during one month. Considering the monthly evaporation depth of 343 mm measured in an evaporation pan near a storage reservoir, calculate the pan coefficient (You will ignore the infiltration losses and consider one month as 30 days).
