Accurate prediction of reference evapotranspiration (ET0) is essential for efficient planning and management of limited water resources through proper irrigation scheduling. The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith approach to ET0 estimation was adopted to compute ET0 from data obtained during the period 2004–201...

St. Martin's island is a small island in the Bay of Bengal about 9 km south of the main land of Bangladesh. Nearly 6000 inhabitants live there and fishing is their primary livelihood. Since the island is far away from the main land grid connection is almost impossible in terms of cost and geographic...

Electricity production from photovoltaic (PV) systems has accelerated in the last few decades. Numerous environmental factors, particularly the buildup of dust on PV panels have resulted in a significant loss in PV energy output. To detect the dust and thus reduce power loss, several techniques are ...
