  1. Evaporation in Texas CE 394K.2 Spring 2007

  2. Evaporation In Texas • Evaporation is an important component of the hydrological cycle. • Globally volumes evaporating in reservoirs exceeded the volume consumed to meet both domestic and industrial needs.   CE 394K.2 - Spring 2007 Smith

  3. Evaporation In Texas • Several groups monitor evaporation in Texas. • Texas has77 reservoirs • 98 percent of total conservation storage • Must have a capacity of 5,000 acre-feet   or more.   CE 394K.2 - Spring 2007 Smith

  4. Evaporation Data • Pan Evaporation • Army Corp of Engineers • Texas Water Development Board • NARR Data • Evaporation • Potential Evaporation CE 394K.2 - Spring 2007 Smith
