Question 1: As part of a new development project, you have been measuring rainfall monthly for the last year and your company asked you to calculate the actual monthly evapotranspiration for your location. You have applied the Penman-Monteith equation to calculate potential evapotranspiration based on meteorological data. Now you need to find out the actual evaporation totals and how much water is available considering that each month is independent from each other. The results are shown in the Table below. P (in.)
