Evapouration is due to the escape of energetic water molecules from the surface of water into the air. But at the same time, because air also contains an amount of water vapour in it (unless the air is completely dry), water molecules from the air would enter into the water surface and becomes liquid water. If the rate of escape of water molecules from the water surface is higher than the rate at which water molecules in the air enter into the water surface, there is a net loss of water molecules from the water, this is evapouration.
Therefore, it is not difficult to realize that the rate of evapouration indeed depends very much on how many water molecules would enter into the water from the air. In other words, the more water molecules leaving the air into the water, the lower will be the evapouration (assuming that the number of molecules leaving the water remains the same). Conversely, a higher evapouration rate will be observed if there is less water molecules entering into the water from air.
Now, it should be clear that why the absolute humidity is low, the evapouration rate is high. Absoulte humidity is a quantity used to measure the amount of water vapour present in the air. A high humditiy indicates more water molecules are present in the air than when the humdity is low. Thus, when the absolute humidity is low, there are fewer water molecues in the air, the number of these molecules entering into the water would be less. The net escape of water molecules from the water becomes high, i.e. a high evapouration occurs.
