Yet, evaluating agriculture's hydrological impacts and strategies to reduce them remains challenging due to a lack of field-scale data on crop water consumption. Here, we develop a method to fill this gap using remote sensing and machine learning, and leverage it to assess water saving ...
Changes were largest in areas with recorded land-use change between water years—most significantly, fallowing of crop land presumably in response to reductions in water availability and allocations due to the drought. Moreover, the time evolution in water use associated with wetland restoration—an ...
(transpiration plus evaporation) in relation to biomass produced during the respective period, increased with time. This is because the share of unproductive evaporation in relation to total water consumption decreased (Fig.10, Jorda et al.submitted). Water use efficiency was always higher for the ...
Maize is an economic crop that is also a candidate for use in phytoremediation in low-to-moderately Cd-contaminated soils, because the plant can accumulate high concentration of Cd in parts that are nonedible to humans while accumulating only a low conce
Whenever the auto-irrigation operation was used in the management setup, it was parameterized in a way to retrieve water from the shallow aquifer of the subbasin, where the HRU is located. Table 2. Frequency of crop rotations in the Xiangxi catchment and their implementation in SWAT for the ...
The current and future development in water resources is very sensitive to land use and the spreading and intensification of hu- man activities. In Denmark, over consumption of ground water re- sources lowered the ground water level depth by up to 15 m during the last 90 years and severa...

Crop evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential part of agricultural water consumption, and robust monitoring of remote sensing (RS)-based ET at the field scale improves agricultural water management against water shortages. In this study, we propose a high-resolution optical RS-driven daily ET ...
