Zusammenfassung: | The state of Ceará, Brazil, has 75% of its area covered by Brazilian semiarid, with its peculiar features. In this state, the dams are constituted in water structure of strategic importance, ensuring, both in time and space, the development and supply of water to population. However, construction of reservoirs results in various impacts that should be carefully observed when deciding on their implementation. One of the impacts identified as negative is the increased evaporation, which constitutes a major component of water balance in reservoirs, especially in arid regions. Several methods for estimating evaporation have been proposed over time, many of them deriving from the Penman equation. This study evaluated six different methods for estimating evaporation in order to determine the most suitable for use in hydrological models for water balance in reservoirs in the state of Ceará. The tested methods were proposed by Penman, Kohler-Nordenson-Fox, Priestley-Taylor, deBruim-Keijman, Brutsaert-Stricker and deBruim. The methods presented good performance when tested for water balance during the dry season, and the Priestley-Taylor was the most appropriate, since the data from de simulated water balance with evaporation estimated by this method were the closest of the water balance data observed from measures of reservoir level and the elevation-volume curve provided by the Company of Management of Water Resources of the state of Ceará - COGERH.O Estado do Ceará possui 75% do território abrangido pelo semiárido brasileiro, com suas características peculiares. Nesse Estado, açudes constituem-se em estrutura hídrica de importância estratégica, garantindo, no tempo e no espaço, o desenvolvimento e o abastecimento hídrico das populações. No entanto, a construção de reservatórios implica vários impactos que devem ser cuidadosamente observados no momento de decidir pela sua execução. Um dos impactos apontados como negativo é o aumento da evaporação, que se constitui em um dos principais componentes do balanço hídrico nos reservatórios, sobretudo em regiões áridas. Vários métodos de estimativa da evaporação foram propostos ao longo do tempo, muitos deles derivados da equação de Penman. Neste trabalho, foram avaliados seis diferentes métodos de estimativa da evaporação a fim de determinar qual o mais adequado para utilização em modelos hidrológicos para o balanço hídrico em reservatórios no Estado do Ceará. Os métodos avaliados foram os propostos por Penman, Kohler-N |
