  • "The gross annual evaporation from exposed water surfaces was estimated for the 17 States lying wholly or partly west of the 100th meridian. The amount of evaporation in each subdivision of these States was computed as the product of the local evaporation rate multiplied by the water-surface area in the bays, lagoons, reservoirs, lakes, ponds, and streams within the subdivision. Evaporation rates were taken from the map of Kohler, Nordenson, and Baker (1959); the western part of which is reproduced in this report at a larger scale. It shows isopleths of annual lake evaporation, derived from available evaporation-pan data and computed from meteorological records by the techniques developed during the comprehensive evaporation investigations at Lake Hefner andLake Mead. Water-surface areas for the larger reservoirs and regulatedlakes were taken from Thomas and Harbeck (1956), who presented conditions as of January 1, 1954. Water-surface areas for the larger reservaoirs and regulated lakes were taken from Thomas and harbeck (1956), whopresentd conditions as of January 1, 1954. Water-surface areas were individually measured on recent maps for coastal bays and lagoons; principal inland salt lakes; natural freshwater lakes of 500 acres or more; and for the larger streams and canals. A sampling produced was used for estimating the total areas of the many small stock ponds, reservoirs, lakes smaller than 500 acres; and minor streams and canals. All the identifiable bodies of water were measured on selected maps ..."
