--overwrite: Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help: Print usage summary
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output
--ui: Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

netradiation_diurnal=name [required]: Name of input diurnal net radiation raster map [W/m2/d]
average_temperature=name [required]: Name of input average air temperature raster map [C]
minimum_temperature=name [required]: Name of input minimum air temperature raster map [C]
maximum_temperature=name [required]: Name of input maximum air temperature raster map [C]
precipitation=name: Name of precipitation raster map [mm/month]
Disabled for original Hargreaves (1985)
output=name [required]: Name for output raster map [mm/d]

DESCRIPTION

i.evapo.mh calculates the reference evapotranspiration (ET) after Hargreaves et al. (1985), Hargreaves and Samani (1985) and the Modified Hargreaves version found in Droogers and Allen (2002).
