Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A region experiences an average evaporation of 22 mm over a month using a Class A pan with a Kp of 0.75. How much water is estimated to be lost through evapotranspiration? Discuss seasonal variations.
💡 Hint: Consider how seasonal weather can impact these readings.
Consider a scenario where two different crops are planted, one with a higher transpiration rate. Discuss how you would adjust the pan coefficients used for accurate ET measurements across different crops.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how crop variations affect overall water demand.
