This paper describes a detailed evaluation of the performance and characteristic behaviour of feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) and M5 model tree for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET0) at four meteorological sites in an arid climate. The input variables for these models were the maximum and minimum air temperature, air humidity and extraterrestrial radiation. The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith model was used as a reference model for assessing the performance of the two approaches. The results of this study showed that the ANN estimated ET0 better than the M5 model tree but both models performed well for the study area and yielded results close to the FAO56-PM method. Root mean square error and R-2 for the comparison between reference and estimated ET0 for the tested data using the proposed ANN model are 5.6 % and 0.98, respectively. For the M5 model tree method these values are 8.9 % and 0.98, respectively. The overall results are of significant practical use because the temperature and Humidity-based model can be used when radiation and wind speed data are not available.
