Calculated Net Evaporation from Reservoirs in the Chi-Mun River Basins, Thailand GISWR Term Project 2005 by Nat Marjang
Study Area • Large reservoirs in the Chi-Mun River Basins, in the northeast Thailand • The basins cover about 23% of the nation area (120,000 sq.km.)
Objective • To calculate monthly net evaporation over the large reservoirs in the study area (one of the input data for HEC-3)
Methodology • Monthly net evaporations are calculated from: Enet = 0.7Epan – (1 – C)R Enet = Net reservoir evaporation (mm) Epan = Pan evaporation (mm) C = Runoff coefficient R = Rainfall (mm)
Why this formula? Nam Phrom River Basin Pre-Project Condition Present/Future Condition Natural Flow (C*R) CR = CR[out] + CR[reservoir boundary with no water] HEC-3 Reservoir System Analysis for Conservation
Why this formula? Consider the Reservoir Area CW = 1.0 Net Flow = CW*R – 0.7*Epan Depth = R – 0.7Epan + CR[res.] – CR[res.] = {CR[res.]} – {0.7Epan – R + CR[res.]} = {CR[res.]} – {0.7Epan – (1 – C)R} = Natural Flow – Net Evaporation
Data Climate Station with monthly evaporation data • 10 stations inside the area • 13 stations around the area
Data Rainfall stations with monthly rainfall data • 421 stations inside the area • 89 stations around the area
Analysis Evaporation for April by using ArcGIS function (Kriging Method) 198.9 Error 4.5% 172.2 Error 7.1% Units: mm
Evaporation for April by using Surfer program (Kriging Method) 200 m Grid size 208.0 Error 0.1% 161.9 Error 0.2% Units: mm
Result Enet = 0.7Epan – (1 – C)R
Result Enet = 0.7Epan – (1 – C)R
