Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the potential evapotranspiration for a small agricultural plot using the Penman-Monteith equation, given the following data: Net radiation = 200 W/m², soil heat flux = 10 W/m², temperature = 30°C, wind speed = 2 m/s, vapor pressure deficit = 2 kPa.
💡 Hint: Revisit the components of the Penman-Monteith equation.
Discuss the impact of increased wind speed on evaporation rates in reservoirs and suggest practical solutions to minimize losses.
💡 Hint: Think about ways to physically obstruct air movement over water surfaces.
