| Abstract: | An accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is of paramount importance for many studies such as hydrologic water balance, irrigation system design and management, crop yield simulation, and water resources planning and management. In the present study, Blaney-Criddle, Jensen-Haise and Hargreaves (temperature based), Priestley-Taylor, Radiation and Makkink (radiation based) and, Pan Evaporation and Christiansen (pan evaporation based) methods have been evaluated and recalibrated with respect to FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method for estimating daily ET0 in the semi-arid Tirupati, Nellore, Rajahmundry, Anakapalli and Rajendranagar sites of Andhra Pradesh, India. Recalibrated Blaney-Criddle (temperature based), Radiation (Radiation based) and Christiansen (Pan evaporation based) methods showed a satisfactory performance at the sites. Further, recalibrated Blaney- Criddle method showed relatively better performance than Radiation and Christiansen methods in the daily ET0 estimation. Recalibrated Blaney- Criddle method may therefore be adopted at the sites selected for the present study and also at the sites with similar climatic conditions for satisfactory daily ET0 estimation. |
