What's inside

  • Evapotranspiration

What you can do with it

Typical work that data of this type supports.

  1. 01

    Irrigation scheduling

    Decide when and how much to irrigate.

    Because it has: Evapotranspiration

  2. 02

    Water accounting

    Track how much water crops actually consume across a command area.

  3. 03

    Risk screening

    Screen projects and assets for climate risk.

Where AI adds value

Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.

  1. 01

    Field-scale ET

    Estimate crop water use per field by combining satellite and weather with ML.

  2. 02

    Demand forecasts

    Predict irrigation demand weeks ahead for canal and pump planning.

  3. 03

    Bias correction

    Correct and downscale climate model output for a site.
