Background
• many methods available for estimating potential evapotranspiration (PET)
-past 50 years, almost 700 registered empirical methods
• PET methods developed for specific tasks and climatic regions

Why estimate PET
• Direct measurement of ETo is - difficult, - time consuming, and - costly • Most common procedure is to estimate ETo from
climatic variables, such as - solar radiation, - air temperature, - wind speed, and - relative humidity

SWAT PET methods
• Hargreaves (HG) as temperature-based methods
• Priestley-Taylor (P-T) as radiation-based methods
• Penman-Monteith (P-M) as combination methods

Penman-Monteith method
• Inputs; solar radiation, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed
• Attributes commonly used (Migliaccio and Srivastava, 2007), universally accurate (Wang et al 2009), the best method when a full complement of weather data is
available (Allen et al 1998). • Has two advantages in comparison with other methods well documented method in comparison to using lysimeters under
a wide range of climate conditions, it can yield good results under a variety of climate scenarios. Drooger and Allen, 2002, Saghravani et al 2009,

Hargreaves method
Input: air temperature both maximum and minimum the wide-spread availability of temperatures records in
many weather stations has increased the usage Droogers and Allen 2002, Saghravani et al 2009,
good estimation results Jensen et al 1990, Itenfisu et al 2003, and Allen et al
shown to overpredict PET in humid climates underestimate it in very dry regions (Jensen et al.,
1990; Amatya, 1995; Droogers and Allen, 2002) should only be used with a 5‐day or longer time step
(Hargreaves and Allen, 2003).

Priestley-Taylor method
Input: Solar radiation
• Use for wet surface area
the energy component is replaced by a coefficient in SWAT.
perform better than the PenmanMonteith and the Hargreaves for wet and humid surfaces. Amatya et al. 1995, Lu et al. 2005
• Underestimates PET in arid and semi arid areas

objective • Evaluate the behaviour of the algorithms used in SWAT for
the estimation of the PET • Selection of one method using simple assessment
parameters
assumption any uncertainty associated with rainfall data would be
propagated through the model calculations equally and would affect the final results equally
the uncertainty associated with data would be constant for all predicted PET and the final comparisons would show which model is predicting PET adequately for the study area.

conclusion
• All 3 methods simulate streamflow and efficiency to similar order of magnitude but with different parameter response.
• Priestly-Taylor underestimates the PET while allocating no water to surface flow.
• The Penman-Montheith and the Hargreaves although having the least correlation in the parameter similar results for stream flow, residual efficiency and baseflow
contribution. • The Penman-Montheith, the RS- Penman-Montheith and the
Hargreaves methods have been reported elsewhere in literature to have comparable performance in data challenged areas which was also consistent in this study.
• model calibration results are satisfactory. • Penman-Montheith is region’s PET method by default.
