I subtracted the total Overflowed Gallons (7661) from the total Rain & Added Water Gallons (6670+21735=28405)-(7661) to figure out the total gallons that had evaporated from the Pond (20744). Then I divided the Total Evaporated Gallons (20744) by the number of days I logged the Pond Water (290) to come up with an average of 71.53 gallons of water evaporated per day.
