Dr. Gilles Boulet joins host Veena Srinivasan for a deep dive into one of the most important and difficult-to-measure components of the hydrological cycle: evapotranspiration.
Evapotranspiration, or ET, combines evaporation from soil with transpiration through vegetation. In many semi-arid landscapes, it accounts for most of the water leaving the land surface. However, measuring ET across individual farms, irrigation commands, and entire watersheds is remarkably…
