Consider two scenarios: one water body is in a hot, dry climate with high solar radiation, while the other is in a humid, cool environment. Describe the differences in evaporation rates in both situations.
💡 Hint: Assess which conditions promote evaporation versus those that hinder it.
If a reservoir has a reduced surface area due to construction, how would you expect its evaporation rates to change? Analyze the implications.
💡 Hint: Think about how surface area directly relates to evaporation capacity.
