Satellites enable accurate monitoring of groundwater use with OPENet
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Sep 06, 2024
Droughts across the Western U.S. have sparked a growing interest in developing groundwater management strategies. Farmers and water managers have long relied on groundwater meters to measure the amount of water used for irrigation, but these meters are not widely available. To address this, researchers at the Desert Research Institute (DRI) investigated whether OpenET, a satellite-based platform
