Book Description
In this study, satellite remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques were used to analyze the agricultural performance and sustainability of the Bhakra Irrigation System in India. The results demonstrate the synergy possible from applying satellite remote sensing and GIS to evaluate trends in rising water tables and salinity, which are two important threats to the sustainability of irrigation systems, and the cost-effectiveness of these techniques as diagnostic tools for irrigation system improvement.
