1.Back-calculate from crop production2.Crop coefficient method, crop/hydrological models3. Vegetation-based ET, satellite data (MOD16)4. Temperature-based ET, satellite data (SEBAL)

Global ET product: MOD16 (Mu et al, 2011) 2000-2010, 8-day
Validation focus:Natural veg, rainfed ag.(95% global ET)
RAINFED VEGETATIONSeasonal averages match Intraseasonal differences at end of post-monsoon season
IRRIGATED VEGETATION: MOD16 ET < SEBAL ET in irrigated areas
When and why does MOD16 underestimate ET in irrigated areas cf SEBAL? MOD16 soil evap = 0 if RH < 70% in GMAOHypothesis: Differences should be largest at beginning of growing season in dry season, when NDVI is low but soil evaporation is high (flooding in rice). Differences should be less at maximum biomass

Not flooded, low NDVI , low RHFlooded,
low NDVI
Does the hypothesis hold? Yes— SEBAL > MOD16 when flooded But SEBAL ET is also high late in the cropping season….
After harvest but soil moisture still high?
Sugarcane: Difference largest at end of dry season (April-May)
Not flooded, low NDVI,low RH
How important is accurate estimation of evaporation from open water and wet soil?
Bangladesh field site, eddy flux correlation tower (Hossen et al, 2012) T = 64-70% of ET E = 30-36% of ET
E = 30-40% (Bouman et al, 2005)

Proposed approach to global cropland ET mapping
1. MOD16 in rainfed croplands (and irrigated corn, wheat, soy?)
2. Kc using MOD16 potential ET in irrigated areas
3. SEBAL to test Kc assumptions by crop type in select semi-arid areas
Key needs: Crop type map (esp rice) Irrig vs non-irrig map (fractional ideal) **Crop calendar**
Heterogeneous pixels (irrig fraction best)

How map irrigated area and ET?
Will global product have irrigated fraction associated with each class?

How can water productivity be improved? Can WP be mapped? (Zwart 2010)
Increase yield, reduce ETIs it possible to reduce ET without reducing yield or to increase yield without increasing ET?
Two variables: 1. ET-biomass relationship: Light use efficiency (ε)
Not highly variable (highest for cool climates). Can efficiency be increased at a given location? 2. Harvest index (Hi) = yield/biomass
Responsible for most gains in yield in 20th centuryIf RS maps biomass, how can Hi be mapped?
APAR = absorbed photosynthetically active radiation
Van Dam et al, 2003 Sirsa irrigation district, India
Can water productivity be improved?
Difficult/impossible to improvefor a given crop, nutrients, climateShift cropping calendar to low PET months?Improve nutrient status
Reduce E from open water, soil(non-beneficial ET)
Increase harvest index = Y/DMReduce loss from pests, spoilageReduce water stress in critical periods Detectable with RS?
M2 poor nutrient statusM3 cooler climate
M4 reduce E
Is it possible to map water productivity using RS? Do we need to map ET for WP?
What is the state-of-the-art in predicting yield and production using RS?

Interannual variability in water resources and irrigated area
Potential research focus: “What is the spatial pattern of fluctuations in irrigated area?” “Are there years where many irrigation systems globally show large decreases?” “What is the global response of irrigated area to climate fluctuation?” “Is there global synchronicity in irrigated area fluctuation?”
