Operational ET remote sensing (RS) program for irrigation scheduling and management: challenges and opportunities

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential component of the water balance and a major consumptive use of irrigation water and precipitation on cropland. Any attempt to improve water use efficiency must be based on reliable estimates of ET for irrigation scheduling purposes.
