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

In July 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 July 2024 was about 172,028 ha. The average, maximum, and minimum crop water consumption (Actual Evapotra...

description In July 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 July 2024 was about 172,028 ha. The average, maximum, and minimum crop water consumption (Actual Evapotranspiration) water used by irrigated agriculture within the basin was 57.3, 141, and 30 mm/month, respectively. The irrigated crop water consumption of the LRB for July 2024 was 136.4 million m3. The Crocodile sub-basin in the LRB showed the largest irrigated extent of 37,223 ha (with corresponding crop water consumption of 30.3 million m3) in July 2024.
