The results showed that there is a highly significant correlation (r = 0.923**) between the calculated and actual values, and this proves the accuracy of the proposed model in estimating the values of evapotranspiration. The results also showed that there is a rise in the values of evapotranspiration in the month of July compared to the month of January of each year due to the high temperatures and the angle of incidence of the sun’s rays, which is almost vertical in the month of July. The results also showed that the study area varies in the values of evapotranspiration according to the different vegetation cover, as the values decrease with the increase of vegetation cover and Vice versa. As well as the effect of the values of evapotranspiration by rising for limited areas in the areas of electric power plants and oil fields, and this gives evidence of large quantities of thermal and radioactive emissions in the areas.
