Potential evaporation (ETp) can be calculated by ETp models climatological parametrs. Among them, the Penman model is most frequently used for ETp estimation. The penman model requires five climatic parameters : temperature, relative humidity, wind, saturation vapor pressure, and net radiation. It also uses complicated unit conversions and lengthy calculation. There are a simple models such as : Jensen - Haise models, Hargreaves, Radiation, Turc's, and Makkink's model. These models that requires only two climatic parameters, temperature and incident radiation.
