The Bureau of Reclamation Albuquerque Area Office has an upcoming requirement for the maintenance and development of the Evapotranspiration Toolbox (ET Toolbox).

In addition, the Toolbox provides near-real time ER< weather, and stream flow information via the internet to water managers and users throughout the region. The ET Toolbox can be viewed at http://www.usbr.gov/pmts/rivers/awards/Nm2/riogrande.html.
