TANK
PLATE NO. 9

A tank is a large container for measuring evapotranspiration. It is a black plastic

builders' bucket, the type which does not have a spout. The buckets are slightly tapered,
vertical sides would be preferable. The black plastic used appears to be stable in light.
Several in use in the garden and exposed to light for many years without deterioration
some plastics will become brittle exposed to light. The receiving vessel was a discarded
plastic 25 liter emulsion paint container (30 cm x 42 cm). The size depth of the tank and
run of drainage pipe will determine the depth required for the receiver. The receiver must
be deeper than the tank and be capable of holding the largest rainfall you can expect at a
site. Sufficient space must be available in the bottom to allow collection of the percolated
water.

EVAPOTRANSPIROMETER
PLATE NO.10

A type of lysimeter that measures the rate of evapotranspiration. An

instrument which consists of a vegetation soil tank to designed that all water added to the
tank and all water left after evapotranspiration can be measured. It is use in saturated
organic soils and was tested under open bog conditions. Weekly water losses from two
evapotranspirometers compared favorably with pan evaporation and with potential
evapotranspiration calculated by climatological methods. Provided that they are
constructed to reach slowly permeable peat types to minimize bottom seepage, these
installations appear to be useful for measuring evapotranspiration to test the applicability
of formulas based on climatological data or to measure on site the effects of water
management.

LYSIMETER
PLATE NO. 11

A lysimeter is a measuring device which can be used to measure the amount of

actual evapotranspiration which is released by plants (usually crops or trees). By recording
the amount of precipitation that an area receives and the amount lost through the soil, the
amount of water lost to evapotranspiration can be calculated. Lysimeters are of two types:
weighing and non-weighing.
A lysimeter is most accurate when vegetation is grown in a large soil tank which
allows the rainfall input and water lost through the soil to be easily calculated. The amount
of water lost by evapotranspiration can be worked out by calculating the difference
between the weight before and after the precipitation input. For trees, lysimeters can be
expensive and are a poor representation of conditions outside of a laboratory, as it would
be impossible to use a lysimeter to calculate the water balance for a whole forest. But for
farm crops, a lysimeter can represent field conditions well since the device is installed and
used outside the laboratory. A weighing lysimeter, for example, reveals the amount of
water crops use by constantly weighing a huge block of soil in a field to detect losses of
soil moisture (as well as any gains from precipitation).

Lysimeters are powerful tools that can help you better understand the
water balance. The amount of water lost by evapotranspiration can be
worked out by calculating the difference between the weight before and after
the precipitation input. Lysimeters can be expensive and are a poor

impossible to use a lysimeter to calculate the water balance for a whole
