Abstract

Evaporation transpiration is one of the most important results in the water balance equation for any natural area or water body, and it is also a critical component of the hydrological cycle. The relationship between temperature and transpiration was obtained using the Thornthwaite method in three stations along with Babylon Governorate. The data for the three meteorological stations were taken for 10 years. The value of climate change was obtained within the study area, including temperature, evaporation, humidity, and rainfall. The value of potential evapotranspiration was calculated by the Thornthwaite method, and the highest value was obtained in July (421.9), and the lowest value in January (3.66). Also, the increase in water was calculated for a study area. It appeared that the increase in evapotranspiration and decrease was in direct relationship with the temperature intensity of the study area.

Highlights

The climate is considered one of the most important components of the natural environment and it has a great impact on the rest of the other components, such as vegetation, geomorphological features, and soil
The Mahmudiyh station recorded monthly rates of rainfall ranging from 0.01-19.53 mm (Fig. 2). months where the rains are limited between October and May
The dry period starts from June to September

Summary

Introduction

The climate is considered one of the most important components of the natural environment and it has a great impact on the rest of the other components, such as vegetation, geomorphological features, and soil. It is a reason for the local changes that occur within the local environment due to its association with the life activities of living organisms (Shaker, 1985). The importance of studying climatic conditions is one of the important foundations that compose the full picture of the prevailing nature in the place. The study aims to evaluate the climate in Babylon by using some statistical measurements
