TL;DR: A Global Irrigated Area Map (GIAM) has been produced for the end of the last millennium using multiple satellite sensor, secondary, Google Earth and groundtruth data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ganges and Indus river basin land use/land cover (LULC) and irrigated area mapping using continuous streams of MODIS data
TL;DR: In this article, a multitemporal analysis was conducted, based on a mega file of 294 wavebands, made from 42 MODIS images each of 7 bands, and the results from these techniques and methods enabled us to gather precise information on onset-peak-senescence-duration of each irrigated and rainfed classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investing in irrigation: Reviewing the past and looking to the future
TL;DR: A brief review of the development and current situation in global irrigation, and looks at the drivers affecting irrigation performance, development and modernization is given in this article, concluding that the options for new developments are limited, and that future investment will need to be more precisely targeted to specific niches in different agroecological and economic contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global map of rainfed cropland areas (GMRCA) at the end of last millennium using remote sensing
Chandrashekhar Biradar,Prasad S. Thenkabail,Praveen Noojipady,Yuanjie Li,Venkateswarlu Dheeravath,Hugh Turral,Manohar Velpuri,Murali Krishna Gumma,Obi Reddy P. Gangalakunta,Xueliang Cai,Xiangming Xiao,Mitchell A. Schull,R. Alankara,Sarath Gunasinghe,Sadir Mohideen +14 more
TL;DR: A 9-class GMRCA was produced from which country-by-country rainfed area statistics were computed for the end of the last millennium and the global rainfed cropland area estimate was 1.13 billion hectares.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irrigated area mapping in heterogeneous landscapes with MODIS time series, ground truth and census data, Krishna Basin, India

TL;DR: In this article, an unsupervised classification of a monthly time series of net difference vegetation index (NDVI) images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) over January-December 2002 generated 40 classes: continuous irrigation, double-cropped, irrigated with low biomass, minor irrigation, and groundwater irrigation.
