Evapotranspiration

In Figure below it can be seen that the actual transpiration and evaporation are calculated in Porous Media module of MohidLand. The actual evaporation, which happens only at the soil surface, is calculated based on a pressure head limit imposed by the user. It allows the model to not evaporate any surface water, even if it is available, when the soil is very far way from the saturation point.
