Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer uses two lysimeters to measure evapotranspiration of two different crops over a month. The first lysimeter recorded a weight loss of 900 kg with 300 kg of rainfall and 100 kg of drainage. The second lysimeter recorded a weight loss of 700 kg with 200 kg rainfall and 80 kg drainage. Calculate the ET for both crops. Which crop experiences more evapotranspiration?

💡 Hint: Use the weight balance formula!

Question 2

Discuss the implications of using lysimeters for calculating regional evapotranspiration under different climatic conditions. How might results vary?

💡 Hint: Consider how different climates impact crop water demands.
