Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A farmer measures the field capacity of their clay soil and finds it to be 30% by volume. If they plant a crop requiring 25% moisture to thrive, how much water can they afford to lose before reaching a critical level?

💡 Hint: Calculate the difference between field capacity and the required moisture.

Question 2

In a landscape with varying soil textures, shoals of sandy areas and dense clay patches intersect. How might irrigation schedules differ for each, considering their field capacities?

💡 Hint: Focus on the water retention characteristics of each soil texture.
