Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the cost-effectiveness of using floating plastic modules for a reservoir that loses 1.5 m of water annually due to evaporation. If the modules can reduce this by 30%, outline the potential savings over a 10-year period, considering the installation cost of $500,000.
💡 Hint: Break down costs and savings into manageable parts.
Assume you are tasked with optimizing a reservoir's design. Discuss the types of analyses you would conduct to determine if floating plastic modules are the right choice for minimizing evaporation in your specific context.
💡 Hint: Consider both environmental and economic impacts.
