Evapotranspiration (ET) plays an important role in the hydrological processes as it can substantially influence the amount and spatial distribution of water resources at regional scale. Quantitative estimation of spatiotemporal distribution and variation of surface ET is essential for understanding the hydrological cycle and water resources management. In this paper, the spatiotemporal characteristics and variation trend of ET and PET(Potential Evapotranspiration) are studied using MOD16 data during 2000-2014 in the"Wet Island of Tianshan Mountain"—Ili River valley, Xinjiang, China. The results showed that: (1) the accuracy of the MOD16-ET in Ili River valley can meet the requirements, and can be used to study the spatiotemporal distribution of surface ET; (2) the mean annual ET and PET were 392.35 and 1331.19 mm respectively, and ET/PET ratio fluctuates between 0.26 and 0.33. The low ratio of ET/PET indicates that the study area was affected by water deficit. The seasonal variation of ET and PET were a unimodal pattern in the growing season. ET/PET ratio was 0.29 in autumn, and the study area suffered drought in this period. Temperature was the main factor influencing the spatiotemporal distribution of ET and PET; (3) the spatial distribution of ET and PET are opposite. The upstream area of Kashgar river and Künes river in the south had sufficient water supply, while the Yining city, the area of Khorgos river, Qapqal County and the downstream area of Tekkas river suffered from drought and water shortage;(4) During 2000-2014, ET decreased, and PET increased, which showed that the drought in Ili River valley was aggravated in the past 15 years.
