Although this is the HEC-RAS forum, let me see if I can help out
In HMS 3.0.1, you set evapotranspiration in the Meteorologic Model.
In addition, this is copied directly from the User's Manual:
Evapotranspiration is the second of the three components of a meteorologic model. It is the combination of evaporation from the ground surface and transpiration by vegetation. It is only required if the meteorologic model will be used with subbasins that use continuous simulation loss rate methods: deficit constant, gridded deficit constant, soil moisture accounting, and gridded soil moisture accounting. Even if those methods are used in the subbasins, an evapotranspiration method is not required. If a continuous simulation loss rate method is used and no evapotranspiration is specified in the meteorologic model, then zero evapotranspiration is used in the subbasins. In all cases, the meteorologic model is computing the potential evapotranspiration and subbasins will calculate actual evapotranspiration based on soil water limitations.
