A sharp, global picture of irrigation and wetland evaporation losses

January 28, 2018 Albert van Dijk (ANU)

New study uses detailed satellite observations to estimate evaporation from irrigation, water bodies and wetlands worldwide. A good part of our global surface and groundwater resources evaporates from wetlands, water bodies and irrigated areas. Some of this so-called ‘secondary’ […]
