Evapotranspiration Science in Oklahoma and Texas
Evapotranspiration is the evaporation of water from plant leaves and the ground surface and is an important component of a water budget. The USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OTWSC) monitors evapotranspiration rates to evaluate how changes in land cover and soil moisture content may change water budgets. Visit the links below for more information on our data and science.
EVAPOTRANSPIRATION SCIENCE CAPABILITIES
OTWSC has expertise in a wide variety of evapotranspiration science applications, including, but not limited to:
- Hydrologic Budgets
- Evaluating potential changes as a result of conservation practices.
- Evaporation and Evapotranspiration (ET) Gages
- Measuring ET using eddy covariance
- Measuring precipitation
- Remote Sensing
- Estimating evapotranspiration rates at a regional scale
