Estimation of Water Loss Due to Evaporation in the El Cazadero Dam, Mexico, during a Drought

In Mexico, large dams have been a critical component of the water supply. However, the places where they can be built are scarcer every day, a situation that adds to the high costs and social conflicts that they cause. Much of the water stored in dams is lost due to evaporation, so technological alt...
