A commercial hydroelectric power plant with an efficiency of 90% uses a large reservoir as a water source. When the reservoir is full, a flow rate of 2000 gallons per second generates 10 MW of electricity. After 5 years of drought, the same flow rate generates only 8.1 MW, by how much has the water level in the reservoir receded (in feet)?
