| description | Irrigated agriculture is highly dependent on groundwater resources in Pakistan. Due to the fiber and food requirements, the reliance on groundwater has been increasing during the past two decades. This research work was conducted at the canal command area of the Dera Ghazi Khan (D.G Khan) canal for years 2017–2019. There were two products of the satellite i.e., AQUA (EOS PM) and TERRA (EOS AM), which were used in this research for determining groundwater demand in the area. For Rabi seasons 2017–2018 and 2018–2019, cropping areas of the major crops i.e., wheat and sugarcane, were 98,712.5 and 131,856.2 ha, and 100,568.7 and 132,743.7 ha, respectively. For the Kharif seasons of 2018 and 2019, cropping areas of major crops i.e., rice, cotton, and sugarcane, were 82,093.7, 74,150, and 98,712.5 ha, and 75,687.5, 79,275, and 132,743.7 ha, respectively. |
