Abstract
|
|
The purpose of this project is to assess the potential for MODIS, Landsat, and ASTER to improve the
performance of RiverWare and SPDSS used in estimating weekly-seasonal evapotranspiration to improve
management of scarce water supplies.
The Northern Colorado Water Conservation District (NCWCD) and Bureau of Reclamation utilize RiverWare
and the South Platte Decision Support System (SPDSS) to estimate real-time evapotranspiration (ET) demand.
This project incorporates thermal data from MODIS, ASTER, and Landsat sensors into SPDSS and RiverWare
to improve weekly, monthly, and seasonal ET estimates.
The NCWCD and the Bureau of Reclamation can use the improved estimates to manage scarce water supplies
more efficiently through use of comprehensive real-time information and prediction tools.
