Project description: Reporting of evapotranspiration (ET) from irrigated agriculture in the western U.S. is increasingly being required for surface and groundwater-use inventories, estimating historical pumpage, as well as supporting water rights, transfers, and management. Crop conditions vary significantly in time and space due to crop...

The water resources of South Asia, which contribute to the livelihood of over a fifth of the world’s population, are the outcome of complex interactions involving glaciers, mountain snow packs, and monsoons. The complexity is further exacerbated by the rapidly changing waterscape: glaciers are receding...
