Water Accounting through Remote Sensing of Helmand River Basin
Remote Sensing based Water Accounting (WA+) of the Helmand River Basin (Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan). Spatially explicit results include: land and water use classification, actual evapotranspiration, biomass, yields, irrigated crop water productivity.
More information on WA+ is available through www.wateraccounting.org
