Remote sensing and census based assessment and scope for improvement of rice and wheat water productivity in the Indo-Gangetic basin Xueliang Cai and Bharat Sharma International Water Management Institute (IWMI) Colombo, Sri Lanka International Forum on Water Resources and Sustainable Development, 22-24 September, 2009, Wuhan, China
Basin focal projects – a CPWF initiative An interesting journey: First lap  Global or local problem? Journey starts Where are we all going? Who’s on the bus? Second lap  Where’s the water? Third lap  How much do people gain from water? Fourth lap  Poverty, impacts? Fifth lap  What can change?
Basin focal project – the structure Knowledge Exchange (WP6) Who needs to know? What information tools? Information exchange process? Data-bases and methods Background Demography  Rural poverty Economic overview  Agriculture W hat is the overall situation? Water availability (WP2) Climate  Water account Water allocation  Water hazards W hat is the water balance? Water productivity (WP3) Crop water productivity kg/m 3 Water value-adding $/m 3 Net value / costs How well is water used? Water institutions (WP4) Water rights  Water policies Governance  Power Who ‘handles’ the water’? Farming institutions (WP4) Land rights  Infrastructure Supply chains Who enables farmer to improve WPr? Poverty analysis (WP1) Rural poverty trends Water-food related factors What links water, food and poverty? Interventions (WP5) WEAP Trend analysis Land use change analysis What are foreseeable risks and opportunities for change?

Methodology overview 1. Crop productivity (rice as example) District level yield map of 2005 from census NDVI composition  of 29 Aug – 5 Sept 2005 for rice area MODIS 250m NDVI at rice heading stage was used to interpolate yield from district average to pixel wise employing rice yield ~ NDVI linear relationship. Source: IWMI, 2009
Methodology overview 2. Evapotranspiration (rice as example) Actual ET map  (2005 Sept 21) potential ET map (2005 Sept 21) ET fraction map (2005 Sept 21) MODIS LST 2005 Sept 21 Daily weather data from 54 stations ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Crop dominance map Source: IWMI, 2009 ET a   – the actual Evapotranspiration , mm. E T f  – the evaporative fraction , 0-1, unitless. ET 0  – Potential ET, mm. T x   –  the Land Surface Temperature (LST)  of pixel x from thermal data.

Basin cropping pattern Predominant crops: irrigated rice/rice-wheat rotation The predominant crops are mainly cultivated in a belt along the main streams of Ganges and Indus river.  Crop coefficients of the basin as extracted from literature (values) and RS imagery (growth periods)  Source: IWMI, 2009
Rice yield and ETa maps Huge variation in yield, indicating significant scope for improvement ET is high where yield is high.  However, ET might also be high where yield is not (so) high.  Why? Source: IWMI, 2009 Yield (ton/ha)   Pakistan  India  Nepal  Bangladesh  Yield  2.6 2.53 3.54 2.75 ET 386 417 499 477 ETa (mm)
Wheat yield and ETa maps Huge variation in yield, indicating significant scope for improvement Wheat ET variation is more consistent with yield Source: IWMI, 2009   Pakistan  India  Nepal  Bangladesh  Yield  2.77 2.20 1.94 2.33 ET 338 291 281 281 Yield (ton/ha) ETa (mm)

Notas del editor

  1. Only two key steps are mentioned here
  2. The crop dominance map was determined from three existing LULC maps (Global land cover characteristics data base (GLCCD), Global Irrigated Area Mapping (GIAM), Asia paddy rice map) with MODIS NDVI products and Ground truth inputs. The crop coefficient values were extracted from FAO 56 and Ullah et al (2001) . The crop starting and harvest dates were determined from time series MODIS NDVI images in consultation with literature values.
  3. While average yield values are low, huge variation exists. For example, the average values for Indian Punjab and Haryana are more than 5 ton/ha, double of average values. Average yield for India and Bangladesh are not high, but ET is considerably higher. Answer in slide
  4. Summed WP showed different variations in comparison with individual rice or wheat WP maps. For example, the part in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh shows higher WP even than Indian Punjab. The ratio of rice WP to summed WP reveals the significance of rice or wheat. As rice generates higher income in some areas, wheat does this in some other areas.
  5. No direct relationship between climate (rainfall and temperature) and evapotranspiration and rice productivity, implying significant contribution from irrigation. High ET is linked to low yield in some areas, especially downstream of Ganges. Although ETa is close to ETp, but most of the ET must be non-beneficial. This is caused by frequently floods (high rainfall), high ground water table. Better drainage system and crop management is needed for this area.
  6. WP is more linked to yield rather than ET. While most areas follow the S1 slope, S2 suggest the greatest scope for improvement exists in low yield areas. When yield is being improved, ET will also go high, at a non-linear pace. The well performing areas of Punjab and Haryana have much higher yield, which is accompanied by high ET. But not as extreme as yield. There is an obvious gap of the yields between Punjab&Haryana and other areas, but many other low yield areas also have similarly high ET. The basin ET of rice is much lower than potential ET. The histogram distribution indicates the existing gap and future demand for more beneficial depletion.
