    A lysimeter is a device that measures actual evapotranspiration from plants. There are three main types of lysimeters: soil moisture probe lysimeters, which are commonly used to measure evapotranspiration from landfills and mines; pan lysimeters, which are crude devices that can be easily homemade; and potential evapotranspiration, which is a hypothetical rate of evapotranspiration if water was unlimited, as introduced by Thornthwaite to measure atmospheric moisture demand under different weather conditions.

    ANSWER KEY

    I. Identification

    1.) LYSIMETER - Is a measuring device which can be used to measure the amount of actual
    evapotranspiration which is released by plants.
    2.) SOIL MOISTURE PROBE LYSIMETER - This type of lysimeter is commonly used in
    applications on disused landfills or mine sites.
    3.) PAN LYSIMETER - This type of lysimeter is rather crude and can easily be manufactured in the
    backyard.

    4.) POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (PET) - Is a hypothetic rate at which


    evapotranspiration would occur if water supply is unlimited.

    5.) THORNTHWAITE - He introduced Potential Evapotranspiration as a measure of atmospheric


    demand for moisture under a given weather or climate condition.
