Consider the factor affecting the evaporation losses:
The rate of evaporation increases as the wind speed decreases.
The rate of evaporation decreases with the increase in atmospheric pressure.
The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in salt concentration in water.
The rate of evaporation increases as the saturation vapor pressure increases.
