The use of remote sensing for estimating evapotranspiration in the rice fields in Malaysia

Evapotranspiration estimes are essential in irrigation schemes, water balance equation and meteorology and climatology studies. Malaysia uses more than 75% of its fresh water withdrawal for rice irrigation, but with only about 45% efficiency due to losses from spillage, seepage, deep percolation and...
