Short summary
We examined how well global datasets estimate evapotranspiration, the water moving from land to the air, in irrigated areas. We compared six widely used products with irrigation maps, satellite estimates, and field measurements across different climate regions. Some datasets better capture irrigation effects, especially those using temperature and vegetation satellite data. This work helps guide dataset selection and supports better inclusion of irrigation in hydrological and climate models.
