Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is essential for planning the irrigation water use in arid and semiarid region. Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important part of agricultural water management in local and regional water balance studies. At the field scale, estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is important in irrigation planning and scheduling and is an integral part of field management decision support tools. This study focuses on estimating the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using 32 years meteorological data by CROPWAT software. The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method has been recommended as the standard method for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was used.

Abstract


Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is essential for planning the irrigation water use in arid and semiarid region. Estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is an important part of agricultural water management in local and regional water balance studies. At the field scale, estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is important in irrigation planning and scheduling and is an integral part of field management decision support tools. This study focuses on estimating the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) using 32 years meteorological data by CROPWAT software. The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method has been recommended as the standard method for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was used.
