Emphasizing practical mapping technologies based on remote sensing, this book offers actionable approaches for estimating water use from irrigated and rain-fed croplands on a national, continental, or global basis. It offers case studies from a variety of continents highlighting the subtle requirements of each.
Written under the guidance of editors with strong backgrounds and experience, this book demonstrates methods and models for determining water resources used and resulting yields of irrigated and rain fed croplands. The book pulls together a comprehensive state-of-the art knowledge base on mapping areas using remote sensing. The text emphasizes practical methods and protocols for estimating water use from croplands and includes case studies from a variety of continents that highlight their own subtle requirements. Presenting advanced and practical technologies, the book provides actionable approaches for national, regional, continental, and global solutions.
