Reliable accounting of agricultural water use is critical for sustainable water management.
However, the majority of agricultural water use is not monitored, with limited metering of …

Land-surface temperature retrieved from thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing has proven
to be a valuable constraint in surface energy balance models for estimating …

California has unsustainable use of agricultural water and energy, as well as problems of
severe drought, nitrate pollution and groundwater salinity. As the leading producer and …

The ability to accurately monitor and anticipate changes in consumptive water use
associated with changing land use and land management is critical to developing …

The energy delivered to the land surface via insolation is a primary driver of
evapotranspiration (ET)—the exchange of water vapor between the land and atmosphere …

Abstract The Northwestern Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata; WPT) was once widespread
throughout the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Much of its …

Spatial estimates of crop evapotranspiration with high accuracy from the field to watershed
scale have become increasingly important for water management, particularly over irrigated …

Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) show promise in being able to collect high
resolution spatiotemporal data over small extents. Use of such remote sensing platforms …

Process-based agricultural systems models are considered widely to mimic the bio-physical
and soil-water dynamic process of soil-plant systems under numerous agricultural …

Different activities utilize water resources at different rates, rely on different water sources,
and thus have a different “footprint” in regard to their water demand. However, the water …
