A hydroelectric plant has a reservoir of area 2 sq. kilometres and of capacity 5 million cubic meters. The net head of water at the turbine is 50 m. If the efficiencies of turbine and generator are 85 % and 95 % respectively, calculate the total energy in kWh that can be generated from this station. If a load of 15000 kW has been supplied for 4 hours, find the fall in reservoir. [5-5x 10 kWh: 27-8 cm]
