Evaporation pan [is] an open tank used to contain water for measuring the amount of evaporation. The U.S. Weather Bureau class A pan is 4 feet in diameter, 10 inches deep, set up on a timber grillage so that the top rim is about 16 inches from the ground. The water level in the pan during the course of observation is maintained between 2 and 3 inches below the rim. 5, record 1, English, - evaporation%20pan

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La difficulté d'accéder à la mesure directe de l'évaporation d'une surface d'eau a conduit à l'utilisation d'appareils constitués d'un bac, d'un bassin ou d'une cuve de profondeur variable et d'assez grande surface, dans lesquels on mesure l'abaissement du niveau de l'eau sous l'action de l'évaporation. On peut citer : 1) Les bacs d'évaporation sur charpente dont le type est celui dit «de classe A» [...] 2) Les bacs d'évaporation enterrés dont le type est celui dit «Colorado» [...] 3) Le bac BPI (Bureau of Plant Industry/U.S.D.A.)

[...] traitement des effluents. [...] Mais parmi les nombreuses technologies proposées, laquelle choisir ? «Il y a trois grandes familles, la première étant le système d'épandage qui utilise la capacité du sol à éliminer les effluents. On peut aussi se servir des traitements biologiques qui s'appuient sur les fonctions épuratrices des bactéries et enfin les systèmes d'évaporation en bassin. C'est cette dernière technique que l'on utilise de plus en plus dans le Midi puisque on joue sur notre ensoleillement important». Patrick Oboul cite à titre d'exemple la dernière réalisation dont il s'est occupé : la cave d'Aramon dans le Gard qui produit 25 000 hectolitres et qui vient d'installer un bassin d'évaporation pour traiter ses effluents. 3, record 2, French, - bassin%20d%27%C3%A9vaporation
