| Extended abstract Introduction Segzai plain, 40 kilometers from Isfahan city, with an area of about 40,000 ha, is considered a serious threat to this historical city. This plain, which until a few decades ago was a relatively prosperous reed and meadow, has now become a huge danger in terms of nature destruction and environmental pollution. Two natural and human factors play a role in the desertification of this region. Among the natural factors are low rainfall, high evaporation, the presence of limiting layers in the soil and strong winds and from human factors, excessive grazing and overgrazing of livestock as well as bush-cutting, rapid population growth and excessive exploitation of existing resources decline Underground water and most importantly, exploitation of surface mines, especially gypsum mines, can be mentioned. The main goal of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the SEBAL model for estimating the actual evaporation and transpiration of the Segazi Plain, considering the arid and semi-arid location of the region using the landsat 8 image. Materials and methods To do this research, first, landsat 8 images were processed. Extraction of required information from satellite images in this research was done during three main stages, i.e. pre-processing, processing and post-processing. In other words, in the pre-processing stage, after performing atmospheric, geometric and other necessary corrections, the image was referred to the ground. In the area of data processing, different highlighting methods and statistical analyzes and remote sensing were done in order to achieve the information layers of the plan. In order to evaluate the results in the image processing stage, the post-processing of the data based on various analyzes was used to evaluate the reliable layers in terms of accuracy and precision. After that, the SEBAL algorithm was implemented. first the amount of net radiation (Rn) was calculated according to the temperature of the earth's surface and vegetation and the amount of energy reaching the earth, then the heat flux of the soil (G) was obtained to determine the amount of transfer capability The heat into the soil was determined, then it was determined to calculate the amount of sensible heat flux (H), which determines the loss of energy from the soil to space. Finally, after determining the sensible heat flux, evaporation and transpiration were calculated. The SEBAL algorithm calculates the energy balance equation in order to calculate the actual evaporation and transpiration of the plant. Results and discussion Surface albedo parameters (the highest and lowest weighted values are around 0.85 and 0.16), soil surface temperature (the highest and lowest weighted values are around 326 and 299 degrees Kelvin), NDVI vegetation index (the highest and lowest weight values related to areas with good vegetation close to +1 and related to water and water bodies close to -1), the amount of net energy reaching the surface of the earth (the highest and lowest weight values are about 703 and 210 Wm-2, soil heat flux (the highest and lowest weight values are about 130 and 35 Wm-2), sensible heat flux (the highest and lowest weight values are about 323 and 23 Wm-2 , momentary evaporation and transpiration (the highest and lowest weight values are about 0.842 and 0.225 mm) and daily transpiration evaporation (the highest and lowest weight values are about 20.2 and 5.4 mm) are among the most important effective parameters in this Sabal algorithm which were investigated in this research. Changes in actual transpiration evaporation (the highest weight values about 0.85 mm and the lowest weight values about 0.16 mm). The obtained results showed that the SEBAL model has well predicted evaporation and transpiration in areas that have vegetation, mostly agriculture and gardens, so that the amount of water loss through evaporation has been predicted close to the values found in the eastern synoptic station of Isfahan (airport Shahid Beheshti) is registered. Conclusion The amount of error obtained in SEBAL calculation was 0.1%. The amount of real momentary evaporation and transpiration has been calculated in the range between 0.22 and 0.84 mm, according to the weather conditions of the region and the temperature of the air near the surface (27 to 50 degrees) and the amount of evaporation and transpiration recorded by the Penman-Monteith equation (30.0 mm in the east of Isfahan synoptic station), this value is in a reasonable range. Comparing the outputs of Sabal model with the amount of evaporation and transpiration obtained in the same station, which shows the root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.1, indicates the suitability of this algorithm in calculating evaporation and transpiration in Segazi region. Considering the growing need of the country to prevent the wastage or excess consumption of water in the agricultural sector, either through changing the cultivation pattern or changing the irrigation methods, the application of the developed tool of the Sabal algorithm in this research can provide valuable information to the experts and managers of the water sector put agriculture. The results obtained from this implementation of this research showed that remote sensing has a good potential for estimating actual evapotranspiration (ETA) by having different algorithms such as SEBAL algorithm and minimum ground information. | ||
