Applications of Remote Sensing-Based Evapotranspiration Data Products for Agricultural and Water Resource Management

01 June 2022 - 15 June 2022

Evapotranspiration (ET) is the process by which the land surface returns water to the atmosphere in the form of moisture. ET is a very important part of the water cycle in the Earth system. It is the sum of evaporation from bare soil and transpiration from vegetation. For a given watershed, the supply of water from precipitation, surface and groundwater can be depleted via ET.
