Irrigation monitoring
Irrigation monitoring uses satellite-derived evapotranspiration, vegetation water stress, soil moisture, and irrigated-area evidence to show where irrigation occurs, how much water crops consume, and whether water productivity is changing.[1][2][3] FAO WaPOR monitors agricultural water productivity from remotely sensed data and separates evapotranspiration from precipitation and incremental irrigation water.[1][2] WaPOR includes evapotranspiration, land-cover, and biomass-water-productivity layers at dekadal, monthly, seasonal, and annual temporal resolutions.[1] ECOSTRESS measures evapotranspiration and vegetation water stress, making thermal evapotranspiration retrieval useful for irrigation water-use monitoring.[3][4]
