Evaporation

[KDAVID1]

I saw a few post that mentioned evaporation which made me start paying attention to something--wasn't concerned with the post--it just triggered my hunting instinct so to speak. I've been doing a little observation concerning evaporation. We have two lakes in our neighborhood--an upper and lower. The upper is fed only by rain water and maybe a small spring. The lower is only fed only by the upper from its spillway. The lower drains over a a couple of spillways that lead to small creeks that end up in Butla. After our last big rains a few weeks ago water was flowing
over all three spillways--from the upper to the lower then over both on the lower into the creeks. Once the upper drained enough to stop going over the spillway I started paying attention. Now both of these lakes are not huge but good size. The upper is 55 acres and the lower is 75 acres (least that's what I've been told) which sounds about right to me. Well after the flow stopped going over the upper spillway water was standing in the spillway. This was the week before last. Over the next couple of weeks til today the water has receded to 3 inches below the concrete edge of the top of the spill way. This is 3 weeks after flow had stopped. To me that is quite a bit of evaporation. Observation can tell you a lot
