Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A research team wants to estimate the annual evaporation from a large reservoir they manage, which spans 400 hectares. They collect pan evaporation data showing daily averages of 6 mm and decide to use a pan coefficient of 0.7. Calculate the total annual evaporation loss in cubic meters.

💡 Hint: Make sure to convert your units properly before using the formula.

Question 2

Discuss potential errors in using the Pan Evaporation Method for a small reservoir surrounded by heavy vegetation. What adjustments or considerations should be made?

💡 Hint: Think about how the environment around the pan can drastically change its effectiveness.
