Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A lake reports e_w of 4.5 kPa, e_a of 2.0 kPa, and K of 1.5. If the wind speed is 5 m/s, calculate E.

💡 Hint: Perform calculations in steps, ensuring each component is understood.

Question 2

Discuss how reducing wind speed could affect a farmer's water loss estimates using Mayer’s Formula? What methods might they apply to mitigate this?

💡 Hint: Consider environmental factors and their influence on water conservation strategies.
