A CASE STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EVAPOTRANSPIRATION METHODS
Keywords:
Evapotranspiration, Crop water requirements, Irrigation schedulingAbstract
Preciseestimation of evapotranspiration is an importantstep in the field of water resource management, itvaries spatially and temporally. Recently, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has suggested FAO-56 Penman Monteith method (modified PM method) asa standard method for calculating evapotranspiration (ETo), because this method is applicable to all type of seasons and different climates and gives more preciseresults when compared with physical methods such asLysimeter and Class A pan. FAO-56 PM method cannot be debated by any other methods which require less data for calculating ETobut FAO-56 PM requires hugemeteorological data, which is not available at full climate stations. So there is need to find out anothersuitable method after FAO-56 PM, which will givecloserEToresults. Here six different methods are considered for present study, which are radiation based (FAO-56 Hargreaves, Turc, Priestley-Taylor), temperature based (Thornthwaite, Blaney-Criddle) and combine parameters based (FAO-56 modified Penman Monteith method).
