ET is calculated as a “residual” of the energy balance
ET = R - G - Hn
Rn
G (heat to ground)
H (heat to air) ET
The energy balance includes all major sources (Rn) and consumers (ET, G, H) of energy
Basic Truth: Evaporation consumes Energy
METRIC Energy balance
(radiation from sun and sky)
![Page 3: Discussion on using Evapotranspiration for Water Rights Management Rick Allen -- University of Idaho, Kimberly, Idaho Partners and Collaborators: Jeppe](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ec95503460f94bd67ab/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Therefore, we can account for impacts on ET caused by:
water shortage disease crop variety planting density cropping dates salinity management
(these effects can be converted into a crop coefficient)
Energy balance gives us “actual” ET

Approaches – 1 (METRIC)Base ET estimates on METRIC --7 to 10 day lag time, high expense --can apply an ‘attainable’ efficiency to derive Diversion
requirement
Can normalize to NDVI to estimate stressCan compare with actual Diversions, ET/NDVI from a few other years (2000, 2003, 2006)Advantage – gives ‘actual’ ETDisadvantage Expensive and with time delay One ‘look’ each 16 days only, at best Some native uncertainty in ET estimates (+/-10%?)
“in-season injury assessment”
![Page 18: Discussion on using Evapotranspiration for Water Rights Management Rick Allen -- University of Idaho, Kimberly, Idaho Partners and Collaborators: Jeppe](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ec95503460f94bd67ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Approaches – 2 (Satellite NDVI)
Base ET estimates on NDVI --quick, one day lag time, low expense --apply an ‘attainable’ efficiency to derive Diversion
requirement
Compare with actual DiversionsAdvantage quick, low cost can use SPOT, IRS, etc. if the current LS fails
Disadvantage May not see ET reductions caused by stress (water
shortage) “Injury” based on act. vs. required diversions
“in-season injury assessment”
![Page 19: Discussion on using Evapotranspiration for Water Rights Management Rick Allen -- University of Idaho, Kimberly, Idaho Partners and Collaborators: Jeppe](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ec95503460f94bd67ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Approaches – 3 (no satellite)
Calculate ratio of running average Diversion to running average reference ET (from weather data) Compare to other years (> 20)Advantage quick, inexpensive longer time series for context (>20 years for
Agrimet)
Disadvantage May need to normalize for cropping patterns May need to normalize for shift to sprinklers

High because of evaporation from surface floodingor high because of no stress??

Issues
If NDVI (and thus ET) is ‘low’ is it because: shift in crop types due to market shift in crop types because of perceived
water shortage (i.e., internal mitigation) chronic shortage of water during
development cool spring – late/retarded development warm summer – accelerated ripening

Approaches – 1 (METRIC)Base ET estimates on METRIC --7 to 10 day lag time, high expense --can apply an ‘attainable’ efficiency to derive Diversion
requirement
Can normalize to NDVI to estimate stressCan compare with actual Diversions, ET/NDVI from a few other years (2000, 2003, 2006)Advantage – gives ‘actual’ ETDisadvantage Expensive and with time delay One ‘look’ each 16 days only, at best Some native uncertainty in ET estimates (+/-10%?)
“in-season injury assessment”

Approaches – 2 (Satellite NDVI)
Base ET estimates on NDVI --quick, one day lag time, low expense --apply an ‘attainable’ efficiency to derive Diversion
requirement
Compare with actual DiversionsAdvantage quick, low cost can use SPOT, IRS, etc. if the current LS fails
Disadvantage May not see ET reductions caused by stress (water
shortage) “Injury” based on act. vs. required diversions

Approaches – 3 (no satellite)
Calculate ratio of running average Diversion to running average reference ET (from weather data) Compare to other years (> 20)Advantage quick, inexpensive longer time series for context (>20 years for
Agrimet)
Disadvantage May need to normalize for cropping patterns May need to normalize for shift to sprinklers
