Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:16 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 17, 2020 at 12:00 AM
Accurate delineations of irrigated acreage are needed for the development of water-use estimates and in determining water-budget calculations for the Basin and Range carbonate-rock aquifer system (BARCAS) study. ISatellite imagery from the Landsat Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Mapper platforms were used to delineate irrigated acreage on a field-by-field basis for the entire study area. Six hundred and forty-three fields were delineated. The water source, irrigation system, crop type, and field activity for 2005 were identified and verified through field reconnaissance.
