Abstract The FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper No 56 on Crop Evapotranspiration has
been in publication for more than 15 years. The paper advanced the accuracy and …

In urban areas, hydrological processes are characterized by high variability in space and
time, making them sensitive to small-scale temporal and spatial rainfall variability. In the last …

The lack of consistent, accurate information on evapotranspiration (ET) and consumptive
use of water by irrigated agriculture is one of the most important data gaps for water …

Abstract This Manual of Practice (MOP) is a comprehensive reference to estimating the
water quantities needed for irrigation of crops based upon the physics of evaporation and …

Solar power development over canals is an emerging response to the energy–water–food
nexus that can result in multiple benefits for water and energy infrastructure. Case studies of …

The current study aims at reviewing and providing advances on methods for estimating and
applying crop coefficients from observations of ground cover and vegetation height. The …

Reflective bands of Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper satellite imagery were used to facilitate the
estimation of basal crop evapotranspiration (ETcb), or potential crop water use, in San …

The computation of the grass reference evapotranspiration with the FAO56 Penman-
Monteith equation (PM-ET o) requires data on maximum and minimum air temperatures (T …

The evapotranspiration was estimated using 11 temperature-based models and was
compared with the FAO Penman-Monteith model. The results showed that the modified …

In California and other regions vulnerable to water shortages, satellite-derived estimates of
key hydrologic fluxes can support agricultural producers and water managers in maximizing …
