Satellite-based Water Use Dynamics Using Historical Landsat Data (1984-2014) in the Southwestern United States
February 14, 2017
Historical (1984-2014) Landsat-based ET maps were generated for major irrigation districts: Palo Verde and eight other sub-basins in parts of middle and lower Central Valley, California. A total of 3,396 Landsat images were processed using the Operational Simplified Surface Energy balance (SSEBop) model that integrates weather and remotely sensed images to estimate monthly and annual ET within the study areas over the 31 years.

Evaluating Landsat 8 evapotranspiration for water use mapping in the Colorado River Basin
Evapotranspiration (ET) mapping at the Landsat spatial resolution (100 m) is essential to fully understand water use and water availability at the field scale. Water use estimates in the Colorado River Basin (CRB), which has diverse ecosystems and complex hydro-climatic regions, will be helpful to water planners and managers. Availability of Landsat 8 images, starting in 2013, provides...
