Our Objective:Our Objective:
Estimate the Potential Estimate the Potential Evaporation and Evaporation and
Irrigation for Manoa Irrigation for Manoa ValleyValley
PE Modeling MethodsPE Modeling Methods
Net Radiation, (Air) Net Radiation, (Air) Temperature, Wind Temperature, Wind speed and Relative speed and Relative Humidity measured at Humidity measured at the 2 weather stations the 2 weather stations were used to calculate were used to calculate PEPE
Interpolated to Grid cells Interpolated to Grid cells using inverse distance using inverse distance weighting and the weighting and the Normal Ratio MethodNormal Ratio Method Distance from each Distance from each
grid to each weather grid to each weather stationstation
Mean PE at each grid Mean PE at each grid and both weather and both weather stationsstationsPE_i= [1/d_l*(PE_l*(N_i/N_l))]+[1/d_m
Based on four Based on four main residential main residential streets, streets, spanning entire spanning entire length of Manoa length of Manoa ValleyValley

Interpolation AssumptionInterpolation Assumption Everyone irrigating when no rainEveryone irrigating when no rain Everyone irrigating at 6:00 PMEveryone irrigating at 6:00 PM Irrigation occurring in all gridsIrrigation occurring in all grids
ConclusionConclusion
PE and IRR lower at back of valley, higher at PE and IRR lower at back of valley, higher at frontfront
Rainfall decreases as PE increasesRainfall decreases as PE increases
Irrigation increases as PE increasesIrrigation increases as PE increases
Irrigation increases as rainfall decreasesIrrigation increases as rainfall decreasesMaking up for increasing demands of waterMaking up for increasing demands of waterLess water available because less water and Less water available because less water and land coverland cover
