Precipitation minus actual evapotranspiration (Litani River Basin, Lebanon - Monthly - 100m)

Precipitation minus actual evapotranspiration (P-ET) calculated over the Litani River Basin area in Lebanon. The P-ET is the difference between WaPOR precipitation (based on CHIRPS) and the actual evapotranspiration and interception.
