Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A reservoir in a low-humidity region has a net radiation of 500 W/m², air temperature of 30°C, humidity at 40%, and wind speed at 5 m/s. Calculate the expected evaporation rate using the Penman Method given you have all necessary coefficients.

💡 Hint: Look at how each factor contributes to the overall calculation.

Question 2

Discuss how different climatic conditions such as high temperatures or increased wind speeds might skew the results of the Penman Method.

💡 Hint: Consider how each factor operates in the system as you analyze the conditions.
