Irrigation & water management

Water is an important yet scarce resource in agriculture. In regions where

the levels of precipitation are too low to guarantee the health of crops,

supplementary irrigation is utilized to ensure that an entire field receives the

necessary water for production.

The combination of multispectral, high-resolution RGB, and thermal imagery

can provide powerful insights into water management. For example, color

composites using the NIR band (like CIR) can help users identify overly damp

areas in an intuitive way. In addition, areas that are benefiting from excess

irrigation (due to leaks, pooling etc) will be highlighted.
