The goal of the ICCMRG project is to assess actual crop water use through remote sensing technologies that estimate ET of individual crops within the Middle Rio Grande (MRG) in 2013 and to verify and or improve Kc values being used in reference ET methods, modeling, and decision making tools.
The Improving Crop Coefficients for the Middle Rio Grande Project (ICCMRG Project) was completed by the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (NMOSE) under a grant from the United States Bureau of Reclamation. The objective of the ICCMRG Project is to assess actual crop water use for the years 2011 and 2013 through remote sensing technologies that estimate the evapotranspiration (ET) of individual crops within the Middle Rio Grande (MRG). The purpose of this assessment is to verify and/or improve crop coefficient (Kc) values being used in reference ET methods, modeling, and decision making tools. Current models rely on locally calibrated methods that are decades old, or on generic ET methods that must be calibrated...
