Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a field with sandy and clay soils, discuss how you would expect their water retention and infiltration capacities to differ after a rainfall event.

💡 Hint: Consider the texture and structure of the soils involved.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using the Penman-Monteith Equation, estimate the average evapotranspiration if the net radiation is 500 W/m², soil heat flux is negligible, temperature is 25°C, wind speed is 2 m/s, and vapor pressure deficit is measured at 1 kPa.

💡 Hint: Break down the equation into its components and apply values step by step.
