Irrigated areas of India derived using MODIS 500 m time series for the years 2001-2003 by Dheeravath, Venkateswarlu, Thenkabail, Prasad S., Chandrakantha, G., Noojipady, P., Reddy, G.P.O., Biradar, Chandrashekhar M., Gumma, Murali K., Velpuri, Naga Manohar

“…The methods consisted of (a) segmenting the 952-band MFDC based not only on elevation-precipitation-temperature zones but on major and minor irrigated command area boundaries obtained from India's Central Board of Irrigation and Power (CBIP), (b) developing a large ideal spectral data bank (ISDB) of irrigated areas for India, (c) adopting quantitative spectral matching techniques (SMTs) such as the spectral correlation similarity (SCS) R2-value, (d) establishing a comprehensive set of protocols for class identification and labeling, and (e) comparing the results with the National Census data of India and field-plot data gathered during this project for determining accuracies, uncertainties and errors. …”

Adapting to intersectoral transfers in the Zhanghe Irrigation System, China: Part I - In-system storage characteristics by Roost Nicolas, Xueliang Cai, David, S., Yuanlai Cui

“…This paper assesses the storage capacity and some key hydrological properties of ponds in a major canal command within ZIS. Using remote sensing data (Landsat and IKONOS) and an area-volume relationship based on a field survey, we obtained an overall pond storage capacity of 96 mm (per unit irrigated area). …”
