Abstract
Evaporation is one of the main parameters of the mass transfer from earth to the atmosphere, which annually transfers more than 65 billion cubic meters of water. Worldwide, evaporation consumes 25% of the energy input and plays a key role in restoring 60% of the precipitation to the atmosphere. Small changes in the water budget and evapotranspiration (ET) in arid and semi-arid areas can cause a large change in ecosystem health. Lake Urmia Basin has been taken into huge consideration due to steepest decline in lake level in the last three decades. Estimating evapotranspiration of this basin is important for the study of agricultural water consumption, hydrological modeling, water resources...
