- observe local evaporation using a custom pan at the Science
Center. See Pan Evaporation discussion
for more details
- given area and water volume of wetlands (estimated by
professor) calculate daily losses
- compare to lab day evaporation for Lake Lavon
,
about 10 miles down Wilson Creek
- also compare to evapotranspiration listed for lab day
at the Texas Evapotranspiration Website
(nearest site
is Irving)
- at these rates how long will the wetlands stay wet? How
frequently must they be refilled to stay wet? (how many times per
year)
