Status of irrigated area in the Limpopo River Basin: June 2024

In June 2024, the Limpopo River Basin (LRB) area under irrigated agriculture was mapped using a machine learning approach within Google Earth Engine (GEE). The total area actively irrigated in June 2024 was about 200,000 ha. The average, maximum, and minimum crop water consumption (Actual Evapotra...

description In June 2024, the Limpopo River Basin (LRB) area under irrigated agriculture was mapped using a machine learning approach within Google Earth Engine (GEE). The total area actively irrigated in June 2024 was about 200,000 ha. The average, maximum, and minimum crop water consumption (Actual Evapotranspiration) by irrigated agriculture within the basin was 57.3, 141, and 30 mm/ month, respectively. The irrigated crop water consumption of the (LRB) for June 2024 was about 124.7 million m³. The Letaba sub-basin in the LRB showed the most considerable irrigated extent of 32,400 ha with corresponding crop water consumption of 22.5 million m³) in June 2024.
