Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A canal is losing water due to seepage and evaporation. Calculate the total loss if seepage is 30% of the flow, and evaporation accounts for another 5%. What is the total percentage of water lost?
💡 Hint: Just add the two percentages together.
You have a canal system with operational losses measured at 10%. If the total discharge is 1000 cubic meters, what is the effective water that reaches the crops after accounting for operational losses?
💡 Hint: Calculate 10% and subtract from total.
