This paper investigates the impacts of farm ponds in a context of declining supplies in a major canal command within the Zhanghe Irrigation System (ZIS), in Central China. As dam supplies have been diverted to higher-valued uses (hydropower, cities and industry), farmers have responded by constru...

Adapting to intersectoral transfers in the Zhanghe Irrigation System, China: Part II - Impacts of in-system storage on water balance and productivity
OASIS, an irrigation diagnosis model, is applied to the Zhanghe Irrigation System in central China to investigate the contribution of smaller local storages (in "melons on the vine? configuration) as compared with the main reservoir. Results show that local storages are more important in normal-t...

Local storages: the impact on hydrology and implications for policy making in irrigation systems.
Crop planting structure extraction in irrigated areas includes a range of dynamic parameters which require proper spatial and temporal resolution remotely sensed data. The paper seeks to extract crop planting structure by employing multi-temporal images from multi-sensors. Landsat enhanced themat...

The Zhanghe Irrigation System (ZIS), in Central China, has drawn attention internationally because it managed to sustain its rice production in the face of a dramatic reallocation of water to cities, industries and hydropower uses. Ponds, the small reservoirs ubiquitous in the area, are hypothesi...

Adapting to intersectoral transfers in the Zhanghe Irrigation System, China: Part I - In-system storage characteristics
There are numerous ponds in Southern China and it is very difficult to evaluate their contribution to local water users because of their small size and wide variance. This paper presents two methods for estimating pond storage capacity using RS/GIS. One is to estimate pond storage capacity as a f...
