Abstract :
[en] evapotranspiration experts often need to make decisions relating to the precision of the results of various existing methods such as traditional and satellite methods. For these reasons a decision support system (EVA) is develped in order to provide evapotranspiration experts with a tool for evaluating the results of a variety of existing methods for estimating potential and real evapotranspiration by using in situ data and remote sensing data. The EVA provides a variety of models that can be used either in combination or as stand-alone tools to generate information for agricultural planning and management. The paper focuses on the concepts of the EVA software. A case study also will be presented.
