1 Application of SEBAL for Western US Water Rights Regulation and Planning ICID Workshop on Use of Remote Sensing of Crop Evapotranspiration for Large Regions, September 17, 2003, Montpellier, France Richard G. Allen, Univ. Idaho Tony Morse, Idaho Dept. Water Resources M. Tasumi, Univ. Idaho with cooperation by James L. Wright, USDA-ARS

2 Irrigation Water Management: Water to feed the World

3 ET mapping with SEBAL Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land Dr. Wim Bastiaanssen, WaterWatch, The Netherlands Applied in Idaho with Landsat 5 and Landsat m pixel size

4 Energy Balance for ET ET is calculated as a residual of the energy balance R n H ET Basic Truth: Evaporation consumes Energy ET = R - G - H n G The energy balance includes all major sources (R n ) and consumers (ET, G, H) of energy

5 Reasons for Selecting SEBAL ET predictions can be internally calibrated to known ET rates or conditions at the ground No need to apply extensive atmospheric corrections (because of internal calibration)

6 Magic of SEBAL Sensible Heat by near surface dt: H = ( ρ c p )(T ns -T a ) / r a T ns = Near Surface Temperature air temperatures Linear dt vs. Ts function T a r a H (T ns -T a ) T ns Surface Temperature

12 Need for ET Maps in Idaho Quantify Net Depletion from Ground-water Pumping Comparison of ET with Water Rights Calculate Natural and Irrigation-Induced Recharge to Aquifers Determine Actual ET for Developing better Crop Coefficient Curves 10/15/03

13 The Water Balance Surface Diversions + Precipitation Pumpage Evaporation + Transpiration?? Surface Returns Root zone Soil Water Storage?? Ground Water River Spring Discharge Evapotranspiration is used to predict Aquifer Recharge and to Extend GW Pumping Data

14 Why use High Resolution Imagery? ET for individual Fields is Critical for Water Rights, Water Transfers, Farm Water Management Oakley Fan, Idaho

16 Validation of ET maps

17 Confirmation of ET from Remote Sensing with Independent Measurements is Essential Validation can be done anywhere in the world ( physics are physics everywhere) But Ground data MUST be Accurate ( No Data are better than Bad Data ) 12/17/01

18 Confirmation with Lysimeter Measurements: Lysimeter at Kimberly (Wright) 12/17/01
