💧 Rain Evap vs Displacement washout pan management

Adjust conditions to see how much rainwater will evaporate vs displace washout volume in your pan.

🌧️ Rainfall intensity 0.50 in/hr

Typical storm: 0.2–1.0 in/hr | Heavy: 1–2 in/hr

⏱️ Exposure duration 2.0 hours

🧺 Pan surface area 16.0 ft²

Typical washout pan: 4'x4' = 16 ft²

🌡️ Temperature 70 °F

💨 Relative humidity 65 %

📐 Evaporation rate estimated using the Penman-Monteith based approximation: E = (0.035 + 0.0012 × wind) × (1 - RH/100) × vapor pressure deficit. Wind assumed 5 mph. Displacement = rainfall depth × pan area (gal). Net fill = displacement - evaporation. For washout pans, rain can cause overflow if displacement exceeds freeboard.
