The evapotranspiration is one of the components of hydrological cycle. This element is essential in calculus of hydrological water balance, design water works, determination of climate change, water resources planning and management. The aim of this study is to analyze the measured and estimated evapotranspiration at a station in Constanta. In order to estimate the evapotranspiration four methods were used: Thornthwaite, Hargreaves, Turc and Priestley and Taylor. The results of these equations were compared with observed evaporation. We used the data recorded in the interval of time 1970-1995. For these years, we were given: the annual medium temperatures and the monthly measured evapotranspiration.
