Abstract

An Evapotranspiration Mapping Python Module for ArcGIS
Track: Agriculture
Authors: Michael Wine

In the southwestern US, water is becoming increasingly scarce. Evapotranspiration mapping is becoming an increasingly widespread method of determining consumptive water use throughout the landscape to ensure that water rights are not being over-used. Therefore, we developed an evapotranspiration mapping code for ArcGIS. The code was written in Python and is object-oriented. It accepts Landsat imagery and allows maps consumptive water use at the field scale.
