Abstract
The predictions of a semi-empirical evaporation model, and their implications to water resources for the uplands of Scotland, are presented for a range of land-use and climatic scenarios. Three principal vegetation types (coniferous plantation forest, heather and upland grasses) are assessed. The model only requires daily rainfall, Penman potential evaporation, and snow line information as input data. A description of the modelling approach is given, and its performance is assessed by comparing its predictions to the water balances of nine partially afforested Scottish upland catchments.
