Estimation of evaporation in Andalusian reservoirs: Proposal of an index for the assessment and classification of dams by Santiago García-López, Marcia Salazar-Rojas, Mercedes Vélez-Nicolás, Jorge. M.G.P. Isidoro, Verónica Ruiz-Ortiz

“…Study focus: Evaporation is a key element of the water budget, particularly in arid and semi-arid climates, where losses from reservoirs represent a significant fraction of the volume annually regulated and compromise the efficiency of these infrastructures. This study aims to (i) estimate the annual volume of water evaporated from large dams (> 5 hm³) in Andalusia and (ii) propose an index to classify reservoirs based on evaporative losses. …”
