Wheat is an important crop of India. Precise estimates of evapotranspiration can be obtained by multiplying crop coefficients to reference evapotranspiration using readily available climatic data. PenmanMonteith equation is adopted world wide as the most reliable and accurate method for computing reference evapotranspiration. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) presented crop coefficien...

there is a lack of accurate and correct information about erosion in iran. moreover, there is a big difference between measurements and estimations. sediment is also an important environmental problem which pollutes water physically and chemically and therefore, sediment problem is usually studied as environmental problems. estimation of sediment yield of drainage basins is important for preven...

Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 2 (CPT2) and very-long-chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiencies are among the most common inborn mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) disorders. Despite advances in their clinical and molecular characterizations, few therapeutic approaches exist for these diseases. Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenol extensively studied for its potential heal...

The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) method for potential evapotranspiration assessment is based on the crop coefficient, which allows one to relate the reference evapotranspiration of well irrigated grass to the potential evapotranspiration of specific crops. The method was originally developed for cultivated species based on lysimeter measurements of potential evapotranspiration. Not ...

Crop evapotranspiration (ET) is a fundamental component of the hydrological cycle, especially in arid/semi-arid regions. The FAO-56 offers an operational method for deriving ET from reduction (dual crop coefficient Kc) atmospheric evaporative demand (ET0). dual approach (FAO-2Kc) intended to improve daily estimation by separating contribution bare soil evaporation (E) and transpiration componen...

This study was performed to test three methods based on the FAO-56 ‘‘dual’’ crop coefficient approach to estimate actual evapotranspiration (AET) for winter wheat under different irrigation treatments in the semi-arid region of Tensift Al Haouz, Marrakech (center of Morocco). The three methods differ in the calculation of the basal crop coefficient (Kcb) and the fraction of soil surface covered...

managers always consider the precise estimation of sediments in watersheds due to various conditions, such assoil and water resources management, construction, infrastructure and economical and social issues. in this condition,an optimized determination of sediment rating equation (typical method until now for sediment yield estimation) isessential to investigate sediment yield in rivers. in th...

Knowing the rate of evapotranspiration (ET) from surface water resources such as lakes and reservoirs is essential for the precise management of water balance. Ardestan city with hot and dry climate is in Isfahan province (center of Iran), so in this region, water is very important. In this study, monthly ET was determined by several methods and equations for Ardestan city from 1993-2006. Month...
