44.6.1. Definition

Try these first

1. 1.

   Define Water Use Efficiency (WUE).

   Hint

   Think about how water affects crop growth.

2. 2.

   What is one method to improve WUE?

   Hint

   Consider irrigation systems.

3. 3.

   What does WUE stand for?

   • Water Usage Efficiency
   • Water Use Efficiency
   • Water Universal Efficiency

   Hint

   It's related to water and crops.

4. 4.

   True or False: Using more water always results in higher crop yields.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about effective water use.

5. 5.

   A garden yields 150 kg of fruits using 75 liters of water. Calculate its WUE. What can be done to enhance this efficiency?

   Hint

   Use the WUE formula and think of farming strategies.

6. 6.

   A farmer historically used 200 L of water with a yield of 250 kg. After implementing water-efficient practices, their yield increased to 300 kg with 160 L of water. Calculate the WUE before and after the changes, and evaluate the improvement.

   Hint

   Calculate the WUE for both scenarios and compare.
