Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A farmer uses tools to measure soil moisture and determines that the Potential ET is 12 mm per day. However, actual ET after a week of dry conditions is only 5 mm per day. Why is it important for the farmer to know this difference in values?
💡 Hint: Consider how these measurements influence irrigation needs.
Evaluate the potential impact of climate change on evapotranspiration rates in arid regions. What might be the implications for agriculture?
💡 Hint: Think about temperature effects on ET and plant survival.
