Blaney Morin Nigeria Evapo for PC

This App was developed after the work by J.O. Duru https://bit.ly/3OekVir.The App is applicable for the whole of Nigeria, West Africa and other areas with similar climatic conditions in Nigeria and beyond.

Input data can be obtained via the Internet, local meteorological stations, media houses’ daily weather updates and so on
This App is best applied using monthly meteorological data of temperature, humidity and monthly to annual solar radiation ratio but can also serve daily, weekly and annual where the need arises.
This app is applicable and beneficial in the field of agriculture, irrigation projects, soil and water engineering, environmental management, hydrology, water resources management and development etc. The breakdown of some of the benefits is itemised as thus:

1.Water use efficiency: helps to determine how much water plants need.

2.Scheduling of irrigation: can be used to determine optimal time and frequency of irrigation.

3.Crop yield optimisation: it can help optimise crop yield as water can be used efficiently thereby maximising profit.

4.Energy conservation: it can help determine the amount of energy needed to move water for irrigation which can help in saving energy and reducing cost.

5.Water management: information on the amount of water lost via evapotranspiration which the app gives can help water managers to better allocate and distribute the water resources efficiently.

6.Climate studies: the app can be used to estimate the contribution of plants to hydrological cycle for hydrology and hydrogeological studies.

7.Environmental management: it can help managers of the environment to assess the impact of changes in land use such as urbanisation or deforestation to water cycle.
