In arid and semi-arid regions, evaporation from the soil surface represents the major water balance component that causes losses of water. On the other hand, the population growth and the related increase in drinking water, development i urban, industrial and agricultural sector put a lot of pressure on available water resources. Urban landscape (particularly grass cover) consumes a large amount of water in urban areas. About 72 percent water loss is through evaporation in Iran. for all these reasons, application of methods to cope with low water use and water management can be regarded as an appropriate solution. Using mulch is a proper method to reduce the cost of irrigation, weeds and grass green space maintenance. The use of mulch in the landscape can be a step in the reform of water use patterns. In the first phase of this study, the effect of different mulches with different thicknesses on reduction rate of evaporation and water requirement were evaluated. The experiment was completely randomized blocks with eight treatments (with three replications) during 70 days. The experiment consisted of wood, sand and tire chips mulches with 2.5 and 5 cm thickness in the plots. Three plots were planted with grass and three plots were with no covered. In each plot Chrysanthemum ( Chrysanthemum Pompona ) was planted. Results indicated that treatment with a thickness of 5 cm of sandy mulch had the greatest performance. Then sandy mulch with a thickness of 2.5 cm, the tire chips mulch with a thickness of 5 cm and woody chips mulch with a thickness of 5 cm had the best performance on reducing water consumption, respectively. The plot of grass and uncovered plot consumed the greatest volume of water during the experimental period. In the second stage, evapotrairation was measured by zero flux plane (ZFP) method. The experiment was factorial design [3*8] in the basic design of a randomized complete blocks that the first factor included the types of mulch and the second factor was the depth of soil. The field trial was conducted for 44 days. The results showed that the depth of ZFP varied in different mulches. Model ZFP indicated that the experiment plot with no mulch had the greatest evapotrairation (178 mm) and then woody chips mulch with a thickness of 5 cm, tire chips mulch with a thickness of 5 cm, tire chips mulch with a thickness of 2.5 cm, sandy mulch with a thickness of 2.5 cm, the woody chips mulch with a thickness of 2.5 cm and sandy mulch with a thickness of 5 cm, had more evapotrairation, respectively. Results obtained from the ZFP model was compared with REF-ET and OPTIWAT models. The results showed that the amount of evapotrairation obtained by the ZFP model with the results of the REF-ET and OPTIWAT model, were different.
