Infrastructure mapping and performance assessment of irrigation system using GIS and remote sensing
Аннотация
Hence evaluating and improving the performance of irrigation systems is of paramount importance in Irrigation Water Management. Researchers are making many attempts to evaluate and benchmark the performance of irrigation systems. All of them have concluded that the non-availability of a detailed database limits their efforts. Keeping this in mind, an attempt is made in this pilot project titled “Infrastructure mapping and Performance Assessment of Irrigation system using GIS and Remote Sensing.” The results indicate that the Irrigation system's performance is satisfactory, but the water supply is not adequate if surface water (canal water) is the only source of irrigation. The analysis of feedback collected from farmers indicates that the positive project impacts agricultural productivity and socio-economics in the command area.
