Generation

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined process of water evaporation from soil and water surfaces plus transpiration from plants, representing the total water loss from land to the atmosphere. It is a critical component of the water cycle and influences irrigation requirements, drought conditions, and climate patterns. The key formula is the **Penman-Monteith equation**, which is the standard method recommended by the FAO: **ET₀ = [0.408Δ(Rn - G) + γ(900/(T+273))u₂(es - ea)] / [Δ + γ(1 + 0.34u₂)]** where ET₀ is reference evapotranspiration, Δ is slope of vapor pressure curve, Rn is net radiation, G is soil heat flux, γ is psychrometric constant, T is temperature, u₂ is wind speed, and (es - ea) is vapor pressure deficit.
