TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluate the net change in evaporation following the creation of a hydroelectric reservoir located in the Canadian boreal region and evaluate the pre-and post-flood landscape water flux over a five-year period.

The blue water footprint of the world's artificial reservoirs for hydroelectricity, irrigation, residential and industrial water supply, flood protection, fishing and recreation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the blue water footprint of the world's artificial reservoirs and attribute it to the purposes hydroelectricity generation, irrigation water supply, residential and industrial water supply and flood protection, fishing and recreation.

Water consumption from hydroelectricity in the United States

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for estimating system-wide evaporation based on primary purpose allocation that reduces data requirements by two orders of magnitude and makes available for public use a full Penman-Monteith model with multiple built-in sensitivity analyses.

The Water Footprint of Hydropower Production—State of the Art and Methodological Challenges

TL;DR: This paper points out directions of research in order to prepare a consistent and improved methodology for the calculation of water consumption from hydropower projects, which should take into account the role of reservoirs in the provision of a large range of water services, as well as providing regulated power to the energy system.

An integrated assessment framework for the decarbonization of the electricity generation sector

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an integrated approach to evaluate the GHG emission mitigation, water footprints, and marginal abatement costs of electricity generation decarbonization pathways, and two scenarios were evaluated for a planning horizon of 2019-2050 using this integrated framework.

Natural evaporation from open water, bare soil and grass

TL;DR: It is shown that a satisfactory account can be given of open water evaporation at four widely spaced sites in America and Europe, the results for bare soil receive a reasonable check in India, and application of theresults for turf shows good agreement with estimates of evapolation from catchment areas in the British Isles.

Correction of flux measurements for density effects due to heat and water vapour transfer

TL;DR: In this article, the basic relationships are discussed in the context of vertical transfer in the lower atmosphere, and the required corrections to the measured flux are derived, where the correction to measurements of water vapour flux will often be only a few per cent but will sometimes exceed 10 percent.

Assessing the eddy covariance technique for evaluating carbon dioxide exchange rates of ecosystems: past, present and future

TL;DR: The eddy covariance method is most accurate when the atmospheric conditions (wind, temperature, humidity, CO2) are steady, the underlying vegetation is homogeneous and it is situated on flat terrain for an extended distance upwind as discussed by the authors.

Stomatal Control of Transpiration: Scaling Up from Leaf to Region

TL;DR: A wide variety of formulae have been developed for estimating evaporation from vegetation that are based entirely on weather variables and take no account at all of the species composition or stomatal properties of the transpiring vegetation.
