Wetlands are among the most valuables ecosystems in the world, because support a great biodiversity. Besides, provides many hydrological functions such as surface water sources, regulation of hydrological cycle, weather and aquifer recharge and discharge zones, they are also natural barriers to flooding and sea intrusion in coastal aquifer. The knowledge of the environmental water demands for wetlands is of vital importance to include these ecosystems in water resources management. In this study, the results obtained in the evapotranspiration estimation in the Paraíso wetland are presented. The results were obtained by the application of the surface energy balance model known as SEBAL over a sub scene of Landsat ETM+ satellite dated April 8, 2000, this coincide with the beginning of upwelling season in the wetland are presented. Actual evapotranspiration (ETa) estimates was in the range...
