Abstract | Daily evaporation data of 24 stations of Thailand, which were measured with U.S. Class A pan were used to evaluate extreme evaporation occurrence at 7-day, 15-day and monthly period lengths. Evaluation was made by applying 'Moving Average' technique and frequency analysis was done by Chow's equation. This technique can be used to compute extreme evaporation and evapotranspiration ion occurrences at various return periods in any region and in any climatic conditions where pan evaporation data are available for design capacities of water resources structures or irrigation systems. It requires only pan evaporation data which can be collected for a particular region for computation of evapotranspiration, |
