## Abstract In this paper, a genetic algorithm model is developed to optimise the crop pattern of irrigation networks, considering water allocation priorities and surface and groundwater availability. The objective function of this model is to maximise the net benefits of agricultural products, con

โฆ Synopsis
Evapotranspiration from a well watered potato crop was computed from surface and atmospheric variables at a number of stages of crop development. The values were compared to lysimetric measurements. Both surface and aerodynamic resistance declined with advancing season. The proportion of global radiation which translated to potential and actual evapotranspiration varied with development stage but averaged 45 and 40%, respectively. The equation E = E0/(lnD) 1"2sl described actual evapotranspiration with good accuracy.
