Final Environmental Assessment: Construction of an Evapotranspiration Tower, Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee

Abstract

Arnold Air Force Base (AFB) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) that evaluates the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts associated with construction of an Evapotranspiration Tower. Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) and the US Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resource Division are collaborating on a 4-year project to support the Base's ecosystem management efforts by increasing knowledge of the relationships among vegetation, climate, soils, and water balance. The project requires quantification of . evapotranspiration (ET) demand from the land/vegetation system to calibrate water budget models relating hydrologic inputs and outputs to wetland and stream function.
