Calculate the difference in evaporation loss between a small pond (3 m²) and a large lake (150 m²) over a hot day with similar temperatures. Assume evaporation rates of 5 mm/day per m².
💡 Hint: Use the evaporation formula and consider the area!
Design a water usage plan for a farm with a 200 m² irrigation pond. Calculate potential evaporation loss over 10 days with a rate of 7 mm/day.
💡 Hint: Focus on how often and much water is likely to evaporate based on surface area.
