Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A reservoir has an annual evaporation rate of 2 m. If the reservoir's capacity is 10 million cubic meters, compute how much water is lost to evaporation annually. What strategies can be implemented to mitigate such loss?

💡 Hint: Think about the total water volume and the surface area relation.

Question 2

Discuss the potential environmental impacts if a reservoir experiences increased evaporation due to climate change. Propose solutions to address these impacts while maintaining water availability.

💡 Hint: Consider both the biological effects and water usage implications.
