Abstract
 

Proper management of water resources for forth coming generation is of prime concern due to pressure of increasing population and water requirement by crop. Exact scheduling of crop requires the accurate quantification of water requirement for crop which is way towards management of water. Determination of irrigation scheduling and water requirements for crops required to calculate reference evapotranspiration. Estimation of evapotranspiration which plays an important role in the water budgeting and perhaps the most challenging component of hydrological cycle to estimate especially in semi-arid and arid regions. Evapotranspiration estimation methods have their own strengths and restrictions depending upon the availability of data and methods applied with assumptions used. Present paper reviews the most commonly used various approaches, which are suitable for the estimation of evapotranspiration.
