2 OUTLINE Study area. Methodology. Data set used. Results & Discussions. Conclusion

3 STUDY AREA Surface Corn Irrigation Oum Er-rabia River Al Massira Dam Hydraulic Basin of Oum Er-rabia Fourrages The irrigated area of Doukkala is among the largest and earliest developed Sprinkler areas Wheat in Morocco, Irrigation remarkable for its sand strategic importance for national production, specially sugar beet (38%) and commercialized milk (20%). The region's climate is typically semiarid with a large variability rainfall Localized Irrigation averaging 316 Sugar mm Beet / year. Ce High service of Irrigated perimeter Low service of Irrigated perimeter The resources mobilized for irrigation of Doukkala area come mainly from the dam Al Massira, a major water storage structure in the basin of Oum Rbia with a capacity of approximately 2760 Mm 3.

11 Results & Discussion: Kc-NDVI method Considering that these canopy variables influence the spectral response of vegetated surfaces, a direct correspondence between Kc and reflectance measurements can be established. Kc-NDVI : Generic equation An operational relationship Kc- NDVI is derived by considering a linear relationship between the maximum NDVI (set as 0.8) and the maximum Kc (1.2 at effective full cover) and the minimum (bare soil) NDVI (0.16) and bare soil Kc (0.4), respectively. Example of Kc map of Sidi Bennour district (08/02/2013) K 1.25* NDVI 0.2 c

19 Results & Discussion: Assessment of Irrigation performance (IP2) Temporal variability of CWR, IWR mean values and water allocation (mm/month) IP2: Head-Tail End pattern Spatial distribution of IP2 per CGR for both SidiBennour and Zemamra districts

20 Discussion: Application in irrigation _water management In practice, the information provided by remote sensing could be used for irrigation water management in two ways: RapidEye (REIS): 08/02/2013 Pixel-wise CWR : The Pixel-wise CWR data provide a reference for better precision in quasi-real time scheduling of water gifts. The primary users of this information are farmers and the operators of the tertiary canals. Precise irrigation scheduling depends on the spatial variability of CWR at the plot scale and the RMSE value of CWR estimates. The CWR data aggregated by CGR and district: provide a reference to adjust water allocation. The primary user of this information is the water management body in our case ORMVAD at the different management levels involved in planning and operation of water distribution. In general, its necessary to take into account the difference between CWR, irrigation water requirement (IWR), and net irrigation water requirement (NIWR) in order to determine water allocation.

21 Conclusion (Semi-) empirical algorithms to assess phonology (K c -NDVI method) and retrieving canopy biophysical parameters (Analytical approach), have been used by constructing a time series of multi-spectral satellite image data with different spatial, temporal and spectral resolution (SPOT4, Landsat8 and RapidEye ). The spatial distribution of K c, r, LAI and h c was used in conjunction with groundbased meteorological data for mapping maximum crop evapo-transpiration (ET c ). These methods are fast, robust and easily applicable to large data sets and thus suitable for operational purposes. The appraisal of irrigation performance in terms of adequacy between CWR and water allocation at both the district and CGR level documented a significant mismatch of requirements and allocations. Taking rainfall into account, the difference between requirements and water supply becomes acceptable in winter, but the irrigation water deficit increases in summer. In general the adequacy of water allocation to requirements (both spatially and temporally) could be improved by judicious management of irrigation, i,e by reducing the water excess in some CGR/date and use it in others CGR in deficit

22 Future. The approach will be extended for other spatial and temporal scale taking into account the type of crop by the introduction of new types of data! (more detail in the spectral and the temporal..sentinel2) To meet the needs of agricultural operators to monitor the growing season for the points related to: Monitoring of plant cover crops on schedule. Monitoring the illegal use of the irrigation water along and around the main channel and unserved parcels with a weekly rate (distribution takes place every 15 days) Pixel wise management of irrigation: precision irrigation Estimation of crop area and yields.
