Abstract
ABSTRACT Climate change is a critical global environmental challenge that has rigorous impacts on crop‐water demand and a number of other systems, such as hydrological systems and ecosystems. Reference crop evapotranspiration ( ET o ) being a hydrological parameter reflects the integrated effects of various climatic parameters. Consequently, any variations in the climatic parameters induce variability in ET o . This study identified the accountable climatic parameters for the variability of ET o in Dinajpur and Bogra districts of the North‐West hydrological region of Bangladesh. ET o was determined by FAO Penman–Monteith method from the daily weather parameters of the two districts for a period of 21 years (1990–2010). Trends of ET o and its governing climatic parameters over the…
