Description
Accurate delineations of irrigated acreage are needed for the development of
water-use estimates and in determining water-budget calculations for the Basin
and Range carbonate-rock aquifer system (BARCAS) study. ISatellite imagery
from the Landsat Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Mapper platforms
were used to delineate irrigated acreage on a field-by-field basis for the entire
study area. Six hundred and forty-three fields were delineated. The water source,
irrigation system, crop type, and field activity for 2005 were identified and verified
through field reconnaissance.
