L'évaporation se traduit par la perte d'un certain volume d'eau. [...] Cette disparition d'un certain volume d'eau du fait du phénomène évaporatoire se traduit par une baisse du plan d'eau théoriquement égale à la hauteur d'eau évaporée; c'est le plus souvent cette variation de niveau qui sera prise comme valeur de l'évaporation. On la mesurera à l'aide d'une pointe limnimétrique, où on l'enregistrera par l'intermédiaire d'un limnigraphe. 2, record 1, French, - pointe%20limnim%C3%A9trique%20droite
