  • Miniature pan evaporimeter for gauging the difference between evapotranspiration and effective rainfall
    Patent number: 5496112
    Abstract: An evaporimeter has first and second stacked containers for holding water and a scale for measuring the amount of water in the containers. The containers are covered by a screen and are balanced on and supported by a ground spike. An outlet is located at the same elevation as a zero level on the scale so that water can be quickly drained to that level. Readings taken from the scale can be used to regulate irrigation of the surrounding plants.
