Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is crucial for water resources assessment. In this regard, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization)–Penman–Monteith method (PM) is commonly recognized as a standard method for PET estimation. However, due to requirement of detailed meteorological data, the application of PM is often constrained in many regions. Under such circumstances, an alternative metho...

Estimated daily reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) is normally used to determine the water requirement of crops using the crop factor method. Many ETo estimation methods have been developed for different types of climatic data, and the accuracy of these methods varies with climatic conditions. In this study, pair−wise comparisons were made between daily ETo estimated from eight different E...

an accurate determination of evapotranspiration is required for many studies that involve estimation of the water balance. one methodology is the use of lysimeters. considering the semiarid climate of kerman province, in southeastern parts of iran, the only operating electronic weighing lysimeter in the country was used for calculating daily eto from april 2004 to march 2005 in three different ...

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations have high water consumption through evapotranspiration, which can contribute to scarcity. In addition, there is a lack of spatial observation data and estimation methods for evapotranspiration (ET) rubber plantations. To alleviate the stress expanding caused by seasonal drought in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China, an up 7 days crop (ETc) forecast method, “K...

The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Penman–Monteith (PM) method is widely regarded as most effective reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimator; however, it requires a wide range data that may be scarce in some rural regions. When feasible relative humidity, solar radiation wind speed are unavailable, temperature-based useful to estimate ETo provide suitable sup...
