Increasing population and needs for an augmented food supply give greater importance to improved procedures for estimating agricultural water requirements both for irrigation and for rain- fed agriculture. Four methods for estimating potential evapotranspiration are compared and evaluated. These are the Class A evaporation pan located in an irrigat...

... Potential evapotranspiration is computed based on the energy balance methods such as a Penman-Monteith equation (Allen et al., 1998;Monteith and Unsworth, 1990) or alternative methods such as Priestley-Taylor (Priestley and Taylor, 1972) and Hargreaves equations (Hargreaves and Samani, 1982). Potential evapotranspiration can be partitioned into potential evaporation and transpiration in several ways (Kool et al., 2014). ...
