Show hintHide hint
Consider the relationship between wind and evaporation.
3Question 3.

Consider all benefits of lining.
Question 5.
You are tasked with designing a water conservation initiative for a drought-prone area. Specify at least three structural measures you would implement and justify their selection based on evaporation control.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how each measure affects evaporation differently.
Question 6.
Analyze a scenario where a community has deepened their tanks but sees little reduction in evaporation. Propose additional measures to enhance effectiveness, explaining how they would work together.
