Five chapters focus on the applications of remote sensing that support water resources
management in irrigated agriculture and summarize the major achievements. Chapter 1 …

The surface fluxes obtained with the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL),
using remote sensing information and limited input data from the field were validated with …

Researchers in various international programs have studied the potential use of remotely
sensed data to obtain accurate information on land surface processes and conditions. These …

Three existing models are coupled to assess crop development and forecast yield in the
largest contiguous irrigation network in the world: the Indus Basin in Pakistan. Monteith's …

Spatially distributed soil moisture profiles are required for watershed applications such as
drought and flood prediction, crop irrigation scheduling, pest management, and determining …

High-resolution spatial–temporal root zone soil moisture (RZSM) information collected at
different scales is useful for a variety of agricultural, hydrologic, and climate applications …

Field-based soil moisture measurements are cumbersome. Remote sensing techniques
based on active or passive microwave data have limitations. This paper presents and …

Increasing populations and expectations, declining crop yields and the resulting increased
competition for water necesitate improvements in irrigation management and productivity. A …

This study evaluated the potential of using the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land
(SEBAL) as a means for estimating evapotranspiration (ET) for local and regional scales in …

Playa systems are driven by evaporation processes, yet the mechanisms by which
evaporation occurs through playa salt crusts are still poorly understood. In this study we …
