Irrigated Agricultural Lands, Territory and Rural Development

Mapping Irrigated Lands at 250-m Scale by Merging MODIS Data and National Agricultural Statistics

Accurate geospatial information on the extent of irrigated land improves our understanding of agricultural water use, local land surface processes, conservation or depletion of water resources, and components of the hydrologic budget. We have developed a method in a geospatial modeling framework that assimilates irrigation statistics with remotely sensed parameters describing vegetation growth ...

A dynamic model of salinization on irrigated lands

A dynamic simulation model of salt accumulation on irrigated lands is presented. The original version of the model is part of a large-scale socio-economic model of irrigation-based regional development. The model introduced in this paper is a systemic one in the sense that it integrates four major sub-processes of rootzone salinization: irrigation, drainage, groundwater discharge and groundwate...
