Evapotranspiration

According to a research in Metro Vancouver by Brydon(2007), the measured evapotranspiration rates from a number of studies varies from 0.2 to 19.9mm per day depending on a variety of  factors, such as location, season, temperature and plant communities. During winter seasons, the temperature in North Vancouver is pretty low and with little sunny days, we suppose the evapotranspiration rate is averagely 3mm/day.
