Using Economic Irrigation Water Productivity (EIWP) as an indicator for on-farm irrigation decision-making is of utmost importance in addressing the challenges posed by poor policies managing agricultural water use, particularly water-scarce basins. Various modeling systems are available quantifying crop actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and biomass needed measuring economic output obtained from each unit utilized. The difference ETa estimates between could translate into a EIWP outcomes,...
With the foreseen increase in population and reliance on water as a key input for agricultural production, greater demand will be placed freshwater supplies. The objective of this work was to present newly developed Android smartphone application calculate crop evapotranspiration real-time support field-scale irrigation management. As part answer shortage, we embraced technology by developing AgSAT, Google Earth Engine-based that optimizes use food production. AgSAT uses meteorological data...
The integration of remote sensing and socio-economic data is crucial for policy making in regions suffering from water scarcity climate change. We present a framework that combines remotely sensed estimates biomass use FAO's Water Productivity Open-access portal (WaPOR) (V2) with an ensemble calibrated mathematical programming models to assess the impact reallocations on rain-fed irrigated land production water-stressed basins. evaluated our model Upper Litani Basin Lebanon using two...
