Derive the Evapotranspiration (ET) in equivalent depth of water from a potted plant for a given time period under field conditions. The pot made of plastic is cylindrical of diameter D. During this period rain (R) occurred and was measured by the raingage installed nearby Percolation (P) was also measured in volume through the bottom of the pot. The pot and the plant was weighed at the beginning of the period as W1 and weighed again at the end of the period as W2. Using the water balance approach express ET as a function R, P, W1, W2 and D for the Day
