Abstract
Evapotranspiration, a combination of two simultaneous physical processes which account for the loss of water in vegetation-covered soils, through water evaporation from the moist soil-vegetation surface and control of transpiration through specialized plant tissues (stomata), is a fundamental hydrological variable at regional and basin levels for decision-making aimed at improving the water planning and management demanded by farming activities so as to maximize its usefulness, especially in arid and semi-arid zones where water resources are scarce or uncertain (Pereira et al., 2006; Dinpashoh, 2006; Jacobs et al., 2008). Also, evapotranspiration is an important time and space describer for climate regime classification, especially when related to precipitation. This variable is also a major soil-water balance component (Arora, 2002; Mundo/Martínez, 2002).
