In many environments, evapotranspiration makes up a larger proportion of the catchment water balance than the stream discharge. Thus, for longer periods of rainfall–runoff simulation, it will generally be necessary to estimate actual evapotranspiration losses from a catchment in order to have an adequate representation of the antecedent state of the catchment prior to each rainfall event.
