Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer has recorded a temperature of 30°C and an average of 12 daylight hours using the Blaney-Criddle method. Calculate the potential evapotranspiration if K is set at 0.25.

💡 Hint: Plug in the temperature and daylight values into the formula.

Question 2

Using the Penman-Monteith method, if you have the net radiation as 300 W/m², wind speed at 2 m/s, and vapor pressure deficit as 2 kPa, estimate the potential evapotranspiration.

💡 Hint: Remember how wind speed and radiation influence the ET!
