Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process in hydrology, agriculture, and managing waterresources. It affects things like irrigation planning and climate research. In this study, we useda temperature-based variation of the Penman-Monteit (PMtl) equation and the Hargreaves(HARG) equation to compare with the standard Penman-Monteith (PM) method foresti...
