Try these first

1. 1.

   What does AET stand for?

   Hint

   Look for the relation to evaporation and transpiration.

2. 2.

   Name one application of AET in water management.

   Hint

   Think about farming.

3. 3.

   What does AET data influence in irrigation management?

   • Crop yield
   • Economic policies
   • Water scheduling

   Hint

   Think about how farmers decide when to water their crops.

4. 4.

   True or False: AET is less critical during dry seasons.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider water needs during plant growth.

5. 5.

   Evaluate a scenario where AET data predicts a shortfall in irrigation water supply for a local farming community. Discuss potential strategies that could be employed to mitigate water scarcity.

   Hint

   Consider both technology and adjustment of practices.

6. 6.

   Design a study to assess the impact of changing AET values on groundwater levels in a given catchment area. What methods would you use?

   Hint

   Think about the tools and sources for data collection.
