  abstract = {{R}eference evapotranspiration ({ET}0) is an essential parameter for hydrological modeling, irrigation planning and for studying the impacts of climate change on water resources. {T}he {P}enman-{M}onteith method is recommended for

estimating {ET}0 under all climatic conditions, but its application is limited in regions where data is difficult to access. {T}he alternative is to use methods that incorporate fewer climatic parameters. {T}he objective of this work is to

evaluate twenty alternative methods using few climate parameters of estimating {ET}0 and to calibrate/validate the best ones in order to adapt them to the climatic context of the main hydrosystems of {S}enegal: {S}enegal, {G}ambia

and {C}asamance river basins. {T}he {KGE} and the {PBIAS} were used to evaluate the performance of the methods. {T}he results show that after calibration/validation the methods of {T}rabert, {H}argreaves, {H}argreaves & {S}amani, {T}rajkovic

and {O}udin are the best on for the estimation of the reference evapotranspiration in the {S}enegal, {G}ambia and {C}asamance {R}iver {B}asins.},
