Abstract

Complexity of evaporation estimation from water bodies as lakes and reservoirs and lack of reliable and available data led to reducing developments in this field compared to other hydrological components researches, especially where management of these systems doesn’t rely to spatial and temporal data. Reservoirs operation, development of a new storage and water accounting strategies require more accurate evaporation estimates especially for drinking water in arid conditions. In this research a new evaporation estimation method was developed by different solution to the energy balance equation. The proposed approach carried out by defining the reference surface and simultaneously solution to the energy balance equation for both of the water and reference surfaces. The temperature and radiation data were used in the proposed method that was called reference and water surface energy balance (RWEB). According to the input data, the RWEB method has the ability for remote sensing application. So the remote sensing algorithm of RWEB was developed.
