Abstract

In the study, variability in reference
evapotranspiration (ET₀) from Southeastern Anatolian Project (GAP)
area was investigated with linear regression method. For the purpose, seasonal ET₀
time series were formed from monthly reference evapotranspiration (ET₀).
The ET₀ data sets of three sites showed a statistically significance
decreasing trend while there was upward trend in some seasons of two
sites.  But, variation in all seasonal ET₀ time
series of Kilis site was not detected.

Keywords

GAP, reference evapotranspiration, regression analysis
