Synopsis (short abstract) Crop mapping is key for estimating crop water productivity and the crop production per water consumed. It enables to characterize at a given time the spatial distribution of the main crop. The use of remote sensing applications combined with calibration with field data enable to create time relevant inventories and produce maps for the various cropping seasons to inform strategic planning, production monitoring for decision-making. The availability of accurate crop map is precious information for estimating crop yields, land and water productivity, estimating water consumption needed for water balance, calculation of actual evapotranspiration and it is a key input in water accounting calculation. It also indicates opportunities and risks for food security when looking at staples crops such as cereals.

Seasonal mapping of crop types and water use in Northern Gaza Strip: insights from remote sensing and field surveys (2021–2023) 2024

Also available in:

No results found.

This study focuses on assessing crop productivity and water use efficiency in the northern region of Gaza through remote sensing and field measurements. It aims to accurately map and identify crop types in the study areas using remote sensing data, including satellite imagery and in situ measurements. The objective of this study is to conduct crop type mapping and water consumption mapping based on evapotranspiration (ET). Calculating evapotranspiration alone does not give definitive indicators, because it does not calculate leaching requirements of crops, nor does it calculate the efficiency of irrigation systems using remote sensing techniques. The study covers the period from 2021 to 2023 and focuses on the summer and winter seasons in East Gaza city (Al-Shujaia), Beit Hanoun and East Jabalia North Gaza.

Improved agricultural cropland estimation, assessment and monitoring systems through remote sensing for Libya 2023

Also available in:

Arabic

In Libya, there is a need to strengthen national capacities to monitor water consumption and productivity through remote sensing and to adopt effective options for increasing water productivity in Fezzan region, as a pilot to be scaled up throughout the country. The impact of this project is that food security in the region is improved through effective use of agricultural water.
