Landsat Thermal Infrared Imagery and Western Water Management
The Western States Water Council strongly supported the use of thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) data from Landsat 8 (Western States Water Council [, 2010]). TIRS is increasingly important in monitoring consumptive water uses, particularly agricultural uses. Landsat is the only operational satellite system with a spatial resolution (30m) fine enough to map water use field‐by‐field. TIRS data applications include:
Administering state water rights Planning for present and future water needs Implementing interstate compacts, court decrees, and negotiated tribal settlements Mapping evapotranspiration and consumptive surface and groundwater use Protecting endangered species and estimating water use by invasive species Monitoring food supply security Forecasting commodity market fluctuations
TIRS is essential to quantify beneficial consumptive use, evaluate water rights transfer requests, monitor interstate water compacts, negotiate tribal water right settlements and interstate agreements, and review water right “calls.” The Landsat data archive tracks temporal changes in water uses over decades. A permanent operational land observation program with TIRS is essential.
