Evapotranspiration (ET), a major component of the hydrologic cycle, is important in water resources management and irrigation scheduling. Nowadays, due to the lack of the lysimetric data in weather stations, the ET values calculated by the standard FAO Penman-Monteith model ( ) are used as benchmark values of grass reference crop. Also, the Penman-Kimberly model is widely applied for computing the alfalfa-reference crop ET ( ). In the present study, the meteorological data from 6 weather stations located in the Sistan-Va-Baluchestan Province covering a period of 10 years were used to calculate the and values. Then, the to ratios were computed for all six stations during the studied period. The Penman-Kimberly model at Mirjavah station had the worst result compared to other stations. The NS coefficient values for this station are the lowest (0.07) and the SI and RMSE values for this station are 0.43 and 2.48, respectively, which is the highest value among the study stations. Finally, the contributions of the energy balance and aerodynamic components on the final ET values were determined using the Penman-Kimberly model, which showed the important influence of both components on the ET process. Consequently, the use of radiation-based models e.g. Priestly-Taylor model in these stations should be carried out by special care.
