liquid state to vapor state. It takes place from the adjacent soil, water su ace
or from the surfaces of leaves of the plants. Transpiration is the removal of
water vapour through plant body. Evapotranspiration (ET) is the s~m. of
evaporation and transpiration. The process of evaporation and transpiration
goes on simultaneously and difficult to separate them in a crop field.
The term consumptive use is used to refer evapotranspiration together with the
water used in the metabolic activities of the crop plants. The actual amount of
water used in metabolic activities is insignificant (less then 1% to ET) .
Therefore, the consumptive use and evapotranspiration are often used as
synonymous term. It includes the water consumed by the plants for metabolic
activities or transpiration plus the water evaporated from the land and water
surfaces of the cropped area. '

The factors affecting the rate of evaporation are the vapour pressure at the
water surface and air above, air and water temperatures, wind speed, atmosphere
pressure _and_ size of the water body. Other factors remaining same, the rate of

PET indicates highest evapotranspiration in a crop season. This


evapotranspiration is used to determine highest water requirement in the crop
season and thereby in designing irrigation system capacity. ET c is the
evapotranspiration at any "time of the crop season. This is important in
determining the requirement of water in irrigation.
Reference crop evapotranspiration (ET 0): It is the rate of evapotranspiration
from an extended surface of 8 to 15cm tall green grass of uniform height,
actively growing, completely shading the ground and not short of water. The
ET O may be computed by using the empirical formulae like Blaney - Criddle,
Modified Penn1an, Radiation and Pan Evaporation for a specified period using
the mean climatic data for the period.
Actual crop evopotranspiration (ET): Actual crop evapotranspiration is
the rate of evapotranspiration of a crop in a given soil and climatic condition .
The ET is estimated assuming adequate water supply. There is no such assurance
for ET c and in fact very often in crop field soil water is limited. Thus, ET a is
a
less than or equal to ETc.
The usual behavior of the two components of evapotran ~piration viz.
evaporation and transpiration are sho~n in Fig. 7.1 . After sowm~ and befor_e

plants grow further and shading the area by foliage the transpiration rate
increases as the evaporation rate progressively decreases. The process continues
till almost the entire area is covered. At this time the ET value reaches to its
peak. This peak values continues with little variation till the start of maturity
of the crop. The proportion of evaporation and transpiration also remain almost
same.

The crop coefficient depends on crop variety, duration, growing season, stage
of crop growth, depth of rooting, method of irrigation, plant population,
fertilization, weed control, tillage, plant protections, etc. The crop coefficient
is fixed for a given crop but the values differ at different stage of growth. It is
low at the early stage of growth and increases as it approaches to grand growth
stage and remains almost constant during this stage and then decline gradually
(Fig.7.2). For selecting the crop coefficient, information is required for date of
sowing of the crop, the length of the growing season, the duration of the initial
stage (germination to 10% ground cover) , duration of the crop development
stage (from 10% to 80% ground cover), the duration of the mid-- season stage
(from 80% ground cover to start of ripening) and duration of late season stage
(from start of ripening to harvest). The crop coefficient values for important
field and vegetable crops are given in Table (Table 7 .1-7 .5).

Daily consumptive use: It is the amount of water consumptively used by the \


l
plants during a day of 24-hr. It is required to estimate the peak period demand
of water by the crops for formulating the cropping pattern and decide upon the \
I

need of water supply. \


Seasonal consumptive use: It is the amount of water consumptively used by
the plants during the entire period of growing season of a crop. The seasonal
consumptive use is important in selecting cropping pattern and sequence and \ \
to evaluate and decide upon to seasonal irrigation water requirements.
Peak period consumptive use: This is the average of the highest consumptive
use rates of few days (usually 6 to 10 days) in a season. If the days are taken
more the peak period consumptive use will be less leading to less cost for
irrigation system but increases chances of experiencing water constraint by
I
the plants during the peak period. Thus, the peak period consumptive use is
important in designing the irrigation system capacity.
The number of days is selected on the basis of designed compromise to reduction
on crop yield due to water deficit and cost of irrigation system. The peak period
I I
j
I
consumptive use occurs when the vegetation is abundant, temperature is high
and crops are in flowering stage. The peak period is usually shorter in shallow
rooted crops cultivated in soils of low water holding capacity.

Direct Methods
The direct methods of
C. . . . me~~~rement of evapotranspiration are: (i) lysimeter,
u) field expenmentation, (m) soil moisture depletion studies and (iv) inflow
- ou_tflow methods. These methods are costly, laborious, time consuming,
requtre elaborate mstallation and precise measurement, however give suitable
results. '

Lysimeter method

L:simeter consists of growing of crops in an isolated tank filled with either


disturbed or undisturbed large soil block. The tank (lysimeter) is isolated from
the surrounding but as identical as possible with the surrounding soil and
vegetation and study the change of soil moisture. Lysirneters are non-weighing
and weighing type. Weighing type lysimeter measures directly the change of
mass and provides more accurate results than non-weighing type. In non-
weighing lysimeter the ET is determined over a given period by deducting the
drainage water collected at the bottom of the lysimeter from the total water
input. The most accurate lysimeters may detect ET rates over time periods
shorter than one hour. Other lysimeters can record the changes occur over a
day or more. Lysimeter directly measures the water fluxes from the vegetative
surface, therefore, provides the basis of measurement for other methods.
There are so many designs available for weighing and non - weighing type
lysimeters. Among these weighing type lysimeter suggested by Pruitt and Angus
(1960) and non - weighing oil drum type suggested by Gilbert and Van Bevel
(1954) is proved to be more useful (Majumdar, 2000). A lysimeter should have
(i) the soil moisture relationship inside the lysimeters very close to soil under
natural conditions, (ii) sufficient deep to extend well below the root zone ~~-d
maintain same level of moisture at the bottom as the surrounding areas, (111)
crop cultivated in the lysimeter exactly similar manner to surrounding cropped
area, and (iv) the ratio of wall surface area to the enclosed lysimeter area should
be minimum to avoid the influence of advection from the uncropped ar~as.

Fig. 7 .5 Schematic diagram of a weighing type lysimeter

In a weighing type lysimeter the operator can study the water balance by
regularly noting the water added, water retained in the soil and the losses of (
water in the form of evapotranspiration and deep percolation (Fig.7 .5) . These
process requires weighing which may be made by weigh bridge with continuous
recording of weight change or by floating the lysimeter inside a tank in suitable
liquid (water or Zncl2 solution )in which case the change in liquid displacement
computes the water loss frmn the tank. A continuous record of such liquid
displacement gives the total field water loss providing the tank is permanently
buried in ground and surrounded by the large area of crop of same height. The
measured amount of water is applied in the lysimeter from the supply tank.
The water level in the lysimeter tank is maintained of a predetermined level.
Float mechanism is provided to receive the excess water that tends to builds up
in the tank. The records of overflow, deep percolation, rainfall, etc. give the
calculation of evapotranspiration following the expression.

the root zone are measured just be- fore and after the irrigation or rainfall as
early as sampling is possible and in between the two successive irrigation as
frequently as possible depending on the level of accuracy desired. The irrigation
is given at a predetermined level of soil moisture depletion. The soil moisture
depletion between two successive soil sampling considered to be the
consumptive use (CU) of that period. The water losses during the short pedod(s)
just after irrigation (s) and soil sampling may be taken at a rate of potential
evapotrans piration (PET).

Pan evaporimeter method
The close relations?ip is observed between the rate of consumptive use and
the.rate of evaporation from a pan evaporimeter. The evaporation from a pan is
entirely dependent on atmospheric factors and independent to plant and soil
factors . Therefore, pan evaporation data are very useful in estimating the short-
term evapotranspiration, which are not possible by the empirical formulae -]
employed to estimate it.
The evapotranspiration (ET) is estimated by multiplying the pan evaporation
(E pa) to the crop factor (K ) and pan factor (K/
ET c =E pan xKxK
p c (7.28)
The crop factor varies with the stage of plant growth, extent of cover by the
foliage, climate, location, etc. Evapotranspiration is required for each crop for
each agro - climatic region to fix up the values of crop factors. The experiment
may be set up by installing the lysimeter and pan evaporation side by side. The
available data for ETc provided by the lysimeter and evaporation from the
evaporation pan will give the relation for different stage of plant growth. The
values of crop factors for some selected location are given in Table 7.1-7.5.
USWB Class A Pan: The USWB Class A pan is widely used for determining
the evaporation from free water surface (Fig.7.6). It consists of 120cm diameter
and 25cm deep pan made of 22 gauge galvanized iron sheet with a stilling well
in it, covered by wire net and exposed on the wooden frame in such a way that
air may circulate freely beneath the pan. The pan and stilling well are painted
white. There is a pointer in the stilling well, the tip of which indicates the level
of water constantly maintained in the pan. The loss of water and thereby the
lowering of water level in the pan due to evaporation may be measured by
using a point gauge in the stilling well or by noting the amount of water added
to bring the water to its original level. The depth of water level measured by
the point gauge from the tip of the pointer is the evaporation. The volum~ of
water added to be divided by the pan area to determine the rate of evapora~wn.
Usually the evaporation readings are taken once every day at a ~-xed time.

Sunken screen pan evaporimeter
The sunken screen pan evaporimeter was developed by Sharma & Dastane
C
(1968) which provides more close evaporation values then USWB Class-A e::
pan evaporimeter (Majumdar, 2000). The pan evaporation to evapotranspiration
ratio (ET/EP) in sunken pan screen diameter was 0.95 to 1.05 in comparison to
1.2 to 1.5 in USWB class-A pan.
The sunken screen pan evapoirmeter consists of 60 cm diameter and 45cm
deep pan made of 20 gauge galvanized sheet and a stilling basin of diameter
15cm connected to pan by a 15cm length in tube. The pan and the stilling well
C
are painted white and screened at the top by wire net of 6/20 meshes. The
C
stilling well is provided by a pointer. The pan and the stilling basin are buried
in the soil leaving 10cm only above the ground. Similar to USWB class A pan C
the rate of evaporation in determined by measuring the lowering of water level
by the point gauge or by dividing the volume of water level to the marked C
position by the pan area (Fig.7.7).
