Evaporation is regarded as a complex and nonlinear phenomenon resulting from interactions of multiple climatic factors. This paper presents efficiency of a Decision Tree (DT) machine learning approach in predicting monthly pan evaporation (Ep) through a case study for the Alor Setar region in Malaysia. Daily meteorological data from a weather station in Malaysia was deployed for testing and training the model by utilising weather parameters, including maximum temperature, minimum temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, and wind speed for the period 2000-2019. Several models were developed by employing various input combinations and other model parameters. To determine the most effective input parameters for the ML model, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to select the most efficient input parameters (predictors). The developed ML model was compared to Stephens and Stewart, a widely used empirical technique. Model performance was assessed using standard statistical measures. Furthermore, the Taylor diagram was used to assess the accuracy of the investigated model. The findings of the investigations in relation to various performance evaluation criteria show that the proposed DT structure can successfully predict the monthly evaporation rate with a high level of accuracy (R2= 0.946, RMSE=0.220, MAE=0.173, and NSE=0.947). Furthermore, even for the same input sets, the DT model developed in this study outperformed empirical methods and could greatly enhance the accuracy of monthly Ep estimates. � Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium, HWRS 2022.
