1. Monitoring irrigation water use at large scale irrigated areas using remote sensing in water scarce environment

Increasing pressure on available water resources in semi-arid region will affect the availability of water for irrigated agriculture. In this context, adoption of innovative and cost-effective tools for water management and analysis of water use patterns in irrigated areas is required for an efficient and sustainable use of water resources.  This study aims to evaluate a remote sensing-based approach which allows estimation of the temporal and spatial distribution of crop evapo...
