Zusammenfassung	The Penman-Monteith equation is a mechanistic model for estimating evapotranspiration (ET), the combined loss of water from soil and plant canopies to the atmosphere. First proposed by Penman (1948) for bare soil and water surfaces, then extended by Monteith (1965) to incorporate plant resistance to water vapor diffusion, it has become the international standard for water balance studies, crop water requirement calculation, and hydrological modeling.	Canopy interception modeling quantifies the fraction of rainfall captured by plant canopies and subsequently evaporated back to the atmosphere before reaching the soil. Applied across agronomy, forestry, and hydrology, it partitions gross precipitation into throughfall, stemflow, and interception loss. By linking vegetation structure — particularly leaf area index and canopy storage capacity — to water balance components, the method informs irrigation scheduling, watershed management, and crop water-use estimation.
