"To be effective, irrigation efficiency needs to be deployed thoughtfully, in combination with other important tools, in the context of a whole local water balance."
My colleague, Ann Hayden, with some clear-eyed reflections on thinking beyond efficiency:linkedin.com/posts/ann-hayde…

The Groundwater Accounting Platform created by @EnvDefenseFund, @CAWaterData, and others enables #water managers, landowners, and users across California to track availability and use in near real-time.

It was great to present my research, "Regional and Field Scale Estimates of Groundwater Withdrawals using Remote Sensing and Climate Data," at the inaugural @openetdata #OpenET Applications Conference 2024 today in Albuquerque, New Mexico! My talk today was the culmination of the past 4.5 years of my research in developing integrated remote sensing and data-driven methods to estimate agricultural groundwater pumping across multiple regions in the U.S. Thanks to all my colleagues, collaborators, mentors, and funding agencies for supporting this research. It was also amazing to connect with so many folks from different agencies across the private, non-profit, and government sectors.
Special thanks to @watermapper for encouraging me to attend and present at this conference! And thanks, @FahimHydroSense for the photos :)

“We’re in the midst of this hydrologic whiplash with all signs pointed to extended droughts...We need to be doing everything we can to prepare for this.”

Proud to see so many of my @USGS_EROS colleagues participating in #WorldWaterWeek2022 with @AsstSecTrujillo James Rowland, Mike Budde, and Dr. Gabriel Senay (of @openetdata ET fame)!! Sounds like a great panel.
Great @Interior panel today at #WorldWaterWeek2022 with @USGS and @usbr - “Parched:Drought Planning, Adaptation and Response”. We are helping communities in the US and around the world respond to the urgent challenges of climate change and drought.

Using @openetdata to get ETc for pseudo estimation of groundwater pumping seems a promising way for getting some good numbers to start with. Dr. Rohit from RRG-PE Svcs. highlighted some of the issues he encountered while following this approach @ TX Groundwater Summit 2022. (1/2)

Today, The Nature Conservancy's Aaron Derwingson spoke at #WWWeek on how he is using #OpenETdata in a pilot project with #ColoradoRiver ranchers testing water conservation practices in the face of #megadrought. @nature_org

Happy #WWWeek! Join us for our session on @openetdata – a game-changing platform that is filling the biggest data gap in water management in the drought-stricken western United States on August 29 at 9am. Learn more, RSVP and submit a question: edf.org/wwweek2022.

"Agriculture is the big water use, and it is important how this use is managed (and largely reduced) for the future and for droughts."

Response from John Entsminger @SNWA_H20: "We are a firm believers you can’t manage what you can’t measure. OpenET will give us a tool to see where water is consumed. His example: An ET study found changing the species of grass could save water at places like schools and parks.

@maurice_water's answer: “If we want irrigated agriculture to be resilient, we’re going to need to manage that water more closely. To do that we need good information: how much water is being used by crops and recharging groundwater.”

@SenCortezMasto focuses on water data and how the the purpose of @OpenETdata is to make water data public. Why is that important?
OpenET retweeted
I am trying to think of some scientific processing use cases that cannot be done in #EarthEngine. I can only think of hydrology modeling
What are some examples from the community that you wish could be done in Earth Engine but not yet there?

TODAY (4/4): I'm looking forward to joining @MavensNotebook and @CivicWellorg today at noon for "Office Hours" to talk about proactive water management and some tools and strategies @EnvDefenseFund has co-created with partners. eventbrite.com/e/office-hour…

Groundwater accounts for 99% of the 🌍's freshwater.
This valuable resource provides critical benefits for people & ecosystems, and must be protected from pollution & exploitation.

DYK? #GroundwaterIs the primary drinking water source for a third of the people living in the U.S.
I grew up drinking well water outside of Merced, CA, and never thought about how water came to collect under our yard.

An important, and yet expensive, part of #WaterManagement is tracking data on the amount of water used. States across the west can now benefit from free information made available by @openetdata to develop more resilient water supplies. @WaterWorld

Climate change is impacting farmers, but there are new tools to help them adapt, e.g. #OpenET. It's a new online platform that uses satellites to estimate water consumed by crops and makes critical data for water management widely available. @avleland discusses @WeatherChannel
