  abstract = {{T}he current study aims to evaluate the capabilities of soil water balance modeling to estimate {ET} for very different conditions of rainfed grapevine water status, within a vineyard landscape that depicts heterogeneities in canopy, soil and water table conditions. {W}e calibrated the {HYDRUS}-1{D} model against measurements of the soil moisture profile within seven contrasted sites, we validated {HYDRUS}-1{D} sim-ulations against {ET} estimates derived from eddy covariance ({EC}) measurements within two contrasted sites, and we analyzed the temporal dynamics of the {HYDRUS}-1{D} {ET} simulations throughout almost two growth cycles for the seven sites. {T}he calibration of {HYDRUS}-1{D} was correctly achieved, with a relative {RMSE} of 20% on average. {V}alidation of {HYDRUS}-1{D} simulations against {EC} measurements was satisfactory, with {RMSE} values of about 40{W} m(-2) at the hourly timescale and 0.5 mm d(-1) at the daily timescale. {HYDRUS}-1{D} was able to provide consistent time series of {ET} within the seven contrasted sites and throughout the two growth cycles. {W}e conclude that {HYDRUS}-1{D} simulations can be used as an alternative to {EC} measurements within rainfed vineyards, to alleviate experimental efforts for device cost and maintenance. {F}urther, {HYDRUS}-1{D} simulations can be used for characterizing spatial variabili-ties and temporal dynamics, assessing impact of pedological conditions and land use on {ET}, or validating remote sensing retrievals over regional extents.},
