Accurate monitoring of surface water bodies is essential in numerous hydrological and agricultural applications. Combining imagery from multiple sensors can improve long-term monitoring; however, the benefits derived each sensor methods to automate mapping must be better understood across varying periods heterogeneous environments. All available observations Landsat 7, 8, Sentinel-2 MODIS over 1999–2019 are processed Google Earth Engines evaluate compare single multi-sensor approaches...
Flood recession farming practiced in flood-prone areas and on the banks of rivers lakes arid or semi-arid environments essentially depends soil water stock after flood has receded. During these last few decades, this coveted agriculture is increasingly challenged by severe constraints, due to increased hydrological hazards development projects aimed at controlling floods. These challenges are difficult anticipate, subject a great deal uncertainty regarding sustainability concerned areas. In...
Irrigated agriculture covers 18% of cropped areas and produces 40% world food. Its productivity per hectare is higher than rain-fed agriculture, but constraints are also more demanding: high investment, important running maintenance costs, intensive cropping systems tightly dependent upon commercial chains, collective management often necessary, sharing water with other users. This special issue gives a non-exhaustive view new irrigation problematics, current trends, opportunities,...
Small reservoirs (SRs) are essential water storage infrastructures for rural populations of Sub-Saharan West Africa. In recent years, rapid population increase has resulted in unprecedented land use and cover (LULC) changes. Our study documents the impacts such changes on quality SRs Burkina Faso. Multi-temporal Landsat images were analyzed to determine LULC evolutions at various scales between 2002 2014. Population densities calculated from downloaded 2014 data. situ samples collected...
ABSTRACT The precise estimation of water demand at large‐scale irrigation perimeters is a key requirement for management. Most methods estimating use biophysical models and cropping patterns but do not account the wide range actual farming practices. As result, these only allow theoretical demand. objective this study was to analyze different evaluating demands using several levels knowledge about such as crop requirements, pattern, techniques, application depths (WAD). related practices,...
Après l’édification des barrages sur le fleuve Sénégal, l’agriculture irriguée devait progressivement remplacer de décrue dans la moyenne vallée. Néanmoins, lorsque crue est d’ampleur suffisante, on observe encore cultures lit majeur. Cette étude, réalisée entre juin 2016 et décembre 2019 cuvette Podor (Sénégal), vise à évaluer surface inondée celle cultivée en décrue, caractériser les producteurs estimer productions. Sur quatre crues observées, trois ont été suffisantes pour inonder plus...
