Pans and Shallow Ponds Evaporation Rate Calculator
Evaporation Formula
Rate of Evaporation (\( E \)):
\[ E = (15 + 0.93 W) (C_s - C_d) \]
Where:
- \( E \) is the rate of evaporation, in millimeters per day (mm/day).
- \( W \) is the average wind velocity at 0.15 meters, in kilometers per hour (kph).
- \( C_s \) is the saturated vapor pressure at the temperature of the water surface, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
- \( C_d \) is the actual vapor pressure of the air, calculated as \( C_s \) multiplied by the relative humidity, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
