Assessing the reliability of remote sensing-based evapotranspiration models for enhanced water management under center-pivot irrigation system in arid region. Case study: East Oweinat, Egypt

Spatiotemporal dynamics of evapotranspiration and implications for agricultural water management in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia: a cloud-computing approach

Comparative evaluation of eight simplified potential evapotranspiration methods against the FAO-56 penman–monteith benchmark in the Jayakwadi Command Area, Maharashtra, India: a seasonal and spatial analysis

Accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) is fundamental to irrigation scheduling, crop water requirement computation, and hydrological modeling in semi-arid agricultural regions. The FAO-56 Penman–Monteith (FAO-56 PM) method, the globally recommended standard, demands complete meteorological...

Remote Sensing and Statistical Crop Yield Integration for Assessing Water Use Efficiency: Case Study of Zhambyl Region, Kazakhstan

This study assesses water use efficiency in Kazakhstan’s Zhambyl region using satellite-based remote sensing and publicly available statistical data. The region’s semi-arid climate, heavy dependence on irrigation, limited water resources, with the added complexity of upstream transboundary water system make it well sui...

Evaluation of empirical reference evapotranspiration estimation methods in the Ziway Area, Central Rift Valley, Ethiopia

Reference evapotranspiration (ETO) is a fundamental component of irrigation scheduling, estimation of crop water requirements, and sustainable water-resource management, particularly in semi-arid regions where water resources are limited. This study evaluated the performance of four empirical ETO estimation methods (Bl...

Evaluating Remote Sensing-Based Evapotranspiration Estimation Using the UAS-METRIC Model in the Hot and Humid Climate of Tennessee

Highlights First comprehensive evaluation of UAS-METRIC for both rainfed and irrigated crops in a hot and humid condition. Absence of dry bare soil and persistently non-stressed canopy within the UAS flight mission limited reliable internal calibration of UAS-METRIC. UAS-METRIC showed poor ETa...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Evapotranspiration and Its Components in the Ahmedabad District, India: A Two-decadal Comparison Using Satellite Remote Sensing (2003-2023)

Ahmedabad District, situated in the middle reaches of the semi-arid Sabarmati Basin, has undergone rapid urbanisation, groundwater over-abstraction, and changes in cropping intensity over the past two decades. Quantifying how these transformations have altered evapotranspiration (ET) and its partitioning among soil eva...
