Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are managing a farm with variable soil types. Discuss how you would apply the Soil Water Balance Method throughout the growing season in different soil types.

💡 Hint: Consider how each soil type retains or drains water differently.

Question 2

A region reports 200 mm of precipitation, and after accounting for runoff of 50 mm and deep percolation of 30 mm, the soil moisture storage increased by 40 mm in one period. Calculate AET.

💡 Hint: Make sure to substitute correctly and consider each component of the water balance.
