Evaporation Loss Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the evaporation loss (EL) is:

\[ EL = OWV - FWV \]

Where:

\(EL\) is the evaporation loss (gallons)
\(OWV\) is the original water volume (gallons)
\(FWV\) is the final water volume (gallons)

What is Evaporation Loss?

Evaporation loss refers to the amount of water that evaporates from a body of water over a specific period. It is calculated by subtracting the final water volume after evaporation from the original water volume. This measure is crucial in various applications, such as pool maintenance, irrigation planning, and water resource management.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Original Water Volume (OWV) = 500 gallons
Final Water Volume (FWV) = 450 gallons

Using the formula to calculate the evaporation loss (EL):

\[ EL = OWV - FWV = 500 - 450 = 50 \text{ gallons} \]

The Evaporation Loss (EL) is 50 gallons.
