Environmental Monitoring and Crop Water Demand

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace ((HSHES,volume 7))

Abstract

Environmental monitoring refers to a stream of measurements and observations of the different characteristics of the natural environment. It could be made up of measurement systems of different components of natural systems, evaluation of parameters related to air quality, meteorology, quantity and quality of soil and water, and so on. One of the most important applications of meteorological and vegetation monitoring is the determination of crop water requirements or consumptive use. All vegetation consumes water in transpiration and this process is closely linked to photosynthesis. Direct evaporation also converts liquid water to vapour and it is usual to lump both together as evapotranspiration (ET).
