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.
