Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the primary challenge when it comes to estimating AET based on data?

   Hint

   Think about the availability of resources.

2. 2.

   Why is land cover heterogeneity a challenge in AET estimation?

   Hint

   Consider how different vegetation types interact with water.

3. 3.

   What is a major challenge in estimating AET due to lack of data?

   • Inadequate irrigation
   • Limited access to data
   • High precision models

   Hint

   Think about resources needed for accurate measurement.

4. 4.

   Calibration is used to:

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the importance of accuracy in models.

5. 5.

   You are tasked with developing an AET estimation model for a rural area with limited prior data. Describe your approach to overcoming the data accessibility challenge.

   Hint

   Consider leveraging existing technology and community resources.

6. 6.

   Evaluate how you would integrate varying land cover types into an AET model. What adjustments would you make?

   Hint

   How do different plants interact with water differently?
