Description
Summary:This work proposes two objectives: responding to the basic issue of how much water there is as well as projecting the water resources in the future. Evaluating evapotranspiration was the main methodological innovation of our work, made by Penman–Monteith method. Kriging techniques have been applied over the values from meteorological observation points to get a regular grid, used to calculate regional average values. Concluding, resources are currently tight to serve the demand, but they may be seriously committed to the changes estimated by climatic models.
