Evapotranspiration is one of the vital components of water cycle and its accurate estimation is the key to sustainable management of irrigation water. The FAO Penman-Monteith (FAO-PM) method is recommended as the standard method for computing reference evapotranspiration (ET o ) as well as for evalu...
