Lysimeter Measuring Evaporator

Lysimeters are foremost devices, typically tanks or containers, that define a specific boundary to contain soil water and permit measurement of either the soil- water balance or the volume of water percolating vertically and or its quality.

Lycimeters are standard instruments used in hydrology and water-quality research. In particular, they are used to measure percolation beneath the vegetation root zone and water use through evaporative processes from vegetation.
