Download or read book Lysimeters for Evapotranspiration and Environmental Measurements written by Rick G. Allen and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 1991 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Lysimetry, held in Honolulu, Hawaii, July 23-25, 1991. This collection contains 49 papers on lysimeters--instruments used extensively to provide baseline information for development, calibration, and validation of evapotranspiration methods. Topics include: the history and background of lysimetry; the design and operation of various types of electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic weighing lysimeters; drainage lysimeters; lysimeters for environmental studies; data acquisition systems; environmental requirements necessary for accurate measurement of evapotranspiration; and the development of evapotranspiration equations and cropping factors.
