Synopsis (short abstract) Better understanding of cropland water demand provides useful guidance for efficient irrigation practices. Potential evapotranspiration can be defined as a proxy of cropland water demand, i.e., the amount of water that can be transferred to the air from land 1 . Potential evapotranspiration was retrieved from MODIS remote sensing imagery and cropland extent from a land cover dataset based on Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2 data 2,3 . A bivariate map with a hexagon grid (cells of 90 square kilometers) is shown to analyze the water demand and the cropland distribution in the Amu Darya River Basin. This analysis contributes to the Afghanistan Emergency Food Security Project (OSRO/AFG/213/WBK).

    Better understanding of cropland water demand provides useful guidance for efficient irrigation practices. Cropland water demand is defined as the potential evapotranspiration, i.e., the amount of water that can be transferred to the air from land1. Potential evapotranspiration was retrieved from MODIS remote sensing imagery, and cropland extent was collected from ESA WorldCover, a land cover dataset based on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data2,3. A bivariate map with a hexagon grid (cells of 90 square kilometers) is shown to analyze the water demand and the cropland distribution in the Kabul River Basin. The map can help policy-makers and stakeholders to gain valuable insights into the cropland water demand, aiding in effective water resource management and sustainable agriculture practices. This analysis contributes to the objectives of the Afghanistan Emergency Food Security Project.
