Let's imagine you're doing a Pan-Evaporation Approach to measure evaporation rates in your backyard. You fill up a pan with exactly 10 liters of water at noon on Monday. On Tuesday it rains at a rate of 25 milliliters per hour (0.025 liters/hour) for two hours. You check your pan at noon on Wednesday and the volume of water in the pan is exactly 9.9996 liters. What is the evaporation rate in units of liters per hour (L/hr)?
