Detailed Description
Figure 2. Maps of Feather River Watershed near Lake Oroville 2019-2023, showing average annual actual evapotranspiration (ETa) before the North Complex Fire (Aug-Dec 2020) and recovery in subsequent years. Blue and green colors indicate high ETa, orange and yellow indicate low ETa. Source: OpenET (https://openetdata.org/)

Incorporating Impacts of Wildfire and Vegetation Recovery into a Watershed Model of the Feather River Basin
Changes in vegetation in a large watershed due to wildfire can have a substantial influence on actual evapotranspiration rates and water availability. After a large, intense wildfire, evapotranspiration rates are expected to decrease. As vegetation reestablishes, the evapotranspiration rates increase over a period of years, back to pre-fire conditions. Watershed models typically use input layers...
