Response: Thank you for the feedback. Removed both diagrams.Open Access Government (https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/) had contacted and featured (https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/water-for-plant-growth-the-foundation-of-the-global-food-supply-and-ecosystem-services/55166/, https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/NAA9_web-150dpi.pdf) water management effort utilizing BAITSSS in Kansas. BAITSSS model was incorporated at United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) (https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publication/?seqNo115=354882, https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publication/?seqNo115=348805) websites and its benefit is discussed in Interpretive Summary.
Furthermore, BAITSSS model had been published in the high impact Journal like Hydrological Processes (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/hyp.13458), Agronomy (https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/aj/articles/0/0/agronj2018.10.0636) and Meterological Applications (https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/met.1596) (top 10.00% most cited articles published in Engineering in 2016, current 14 citations (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=11738074413392356940&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en). To understand if this kind of models is recognized in a reliable and independent way, probably it is critical to understand how widely they are cited and used by the community. BAITSSS had been widely discussed around the world (Africa, Asia (China), South America and the USA, please review various peer reviewed journal below). The wiki Category:Hydrology models Category:Computer-aided engineering software Category:Numerical climate and weather models have only a few lines description for numerous models which also lacks the independent sources. It is probably due to the fact of the difficulty in getting independent sources (though they had been published and cited independently around the world) in these kinds of topics because of the technical nature, less media attention as well as the lack of general public interest and understanding, and many others.
Similarly, How we respond (https://www.aaas.org/pes/how-we-respond) from American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) also had just completed the report about the current effort of water management in Kansas including BAITSSS and will be soon featured in their website. This report highlights communities that have taken on projects to adapt to or mitigate climate change. The profile may be released prior to the June 11-13, 2019 Annual Conference of the Universities Council on Water Resources (https://ucowr.org/2019-conference/).
From 1700 word report from AAAS:
There, Dhungel created an intricate model that helps capture the evapotranspiration (ET) rates of various crops.
When Dhungel came to work with Aiken at Kansas State University, he brought his modeling tool, called Backward‐Aaveraged IiterativeTwo-Source Surface temperature and energy balance Solution (BAITSSS), with him.

Article improvement
editI have tried to improve this article as per looking other better ones i.e. for instance try to follow similar to SaltMod. This is my first effort to enhance the wiki article in the subject of my interest. Overall, I completed my effort here for this article. Thanks.

To counter drought, nearby Kansas State University (KSU) researchers have been approaching water savings with even more precision by gleaning data from GMD4’s project. Rob Aiken, a crop research scientist at KSU, has been working with data scientist and engineer Ramesh Dhungel, using a model Dhungel built, to predict water budgets for various crops and areas by analyzing satellite and weather data. The researchers used the tool to simulate the conditions of the first five years of GMD4’s project, and compared the results with farmers’ records to identify areas that experienced high productivity and confirm successful management tactics. Aiken says, with further development, the tool could be used in the future to direct, rather than simply measure, crop management and irrigation. “Models like Ramesh’s are ways that we can learn more about the environment and try to anticipate where the stresses are,” Aiken says. “That’s a good attitude as we look at changing climate conditions. We must be proactive. Let’s learn what we can so we have the best tools in place, whatever comes our way.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8803:2800:2F3:384D:1701:8DE3:8AA6 (talk) 00:05, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
