Abstract

Upgrading water use in agricultural crops requires advancements in location of crop water stress for irrigation scheduling, at different phases of the developing season to limit crop physiological harm and yield reduction. Potential of satellite data provide spatial and temporal dynamics of crop growth condition under water stress and analyse for suggestion of irrigation. This study is based on real time open-source web-based Google Earth Engine (GEE) approach for irrigation scheduling at field level based on its water stress condition. Sentinel-2 data was used for detecting water stress using the NDVI and NDWI indices. NDVI shows the crop growth and health whereas NDWI its water stress condition, by combining both the indices we have generated a new index, which is Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) to schedule the irrigation. The real time Sentinel-2 data was used extract NDVI and NDWI indices and by combining both the indices a new indice was generated for detecting crop water stress condition to schedule the irrigation in real time. The output comes in five group of water stress condition as; No Stress, Low stress, Moderate stress, High stress and Severe stress. Using the result of CWSI the immediate irrigation should be given to those fields which are facing severe and high stress, delayed in moderate and low stress and no irrigation in no-stress. The overall study indicates that, GEE provide a real time better platform for analysing Crop Water Stress situation for scheduling proper irrigation practices for proper growth of crops to improve the production and income of farmers as well as It helps the irrigation planner for proper management of canals and other irrigation resources to the wastage of water.
