The study was conducted in Shipra river basin to determine actual evapotranspiration in the area. Long term daily meteorological data including rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and sunshine hours of Indore IMD station was used as input data in CROPWAT Model . The potential evapotranspiration was converted into actual evapotranspiration by using the crop coefficient. Reference evapotranspiration is a measure of evaporative demand, while the crop coefficient accounts for crop characteristics and management practices (., frequency of soil wetness). | Estimation of evapotranspiration using CROPWAT model for shipra river basin in Madhya Pradesh India
