Estimating the volume of evaporation from the main dams of Iran

Freshwater scarcity poses a critical challenge in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iran, where evaporation from dam reservoirs contributes substantially to water loss. This study quantifies evaporation volumes from 117 major Iranian reservoirs using a combination of six empirical models and four s...
