Abstract: Technical objectives of the project are to: (1) recommend improvements in the evapotranspiration component for the MIKE SHE model, (2) incorporate agronomic crop, root zone and soil parameters to simulate irrigation water management, (3) incorporate nonagronomic crop, root zone and soil parameter to simulate forest, riparian and wetland management practices, and (4) provide peer review of MIKE SHE model development and calibration.
