and for 24-hours:Gwater = 0.9 Rn – 50 (10.4)The penetration of solar radiation into water decreases as the depth of the water bodydecreases and/or as the turbidity of the water increases. Highly turbid bodies of water andvery shallow bodies of water will have a value of G that is close to the value of Rn and theoffsets of the above equations will be r<strong>edu</strong>ced or may completely disappear.2. G equation for shallow (less than 2m) or turbid lakesThe value of G for shallow lakes is estimated to be between the value for deep lakes andfor wetlands. This results in the following equation developed from Table 10.1:for instantaneous at midday:Gwater = 0.50Rn (10.5)and for 24-hours:Gwater = 089
