Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is a key factor in crop water scheduling. The objective of this study was to estimate ET from the high-resolution satellite remote sensing data with integration of in situ observation. The surface energy balance model, Mapping Evapotranspiration with Internalized Calibration (METRIC) was utilised in this study for its simplicity, advantages, and effectiveness. It is a one-source model, which calculates the net radiation, soil heat flux, and sensible heat flux at every pixel level, and estimates the latent heat flux as the residual term in that energy budget equation. Intermediate steps like calculation of NDVI, surface temperature, and albedo served as important input parameters for ET estimate. Landat-8 satellite images were used to compute the ET in paddy field near CRRI, Cuttack, Odisha state in eastern India. Results indicated that the METRIC algorithm provided reasonably good ET over the study area with marginal overestimation in comparison to field observation by eddy covariance data. The satellite-based ET estimates represented in spatial scale has potential in improving irrigation scheduling and precise water resource management at local scales.

Effective management of water resources requires reliable estimates of land surface states and fluxes, including water balance components. But most land surface models run in uncoupled mode and do not produce river discharge at catchment scales to be useful for water resources management applications. Such integrated systems are also rare over India where hydrometeorological extremes have wreaked havoc on the economy and people. So, an Indian Land Data Assimilation System (ILDAS) with a coupled land surface and a hydrodynamic model has been developed and driven by multiple meteorological forcings (0.1°, daily) to estimate land surface states, channel discharge, and floodplain inundation. ILDAS benefits from an integrated framework as well as the largest suite of observation records collected over India and has been used to produce a reanalysis product for 1981–2021 using four forcing datasets, namely, Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS), ECMWF’s ERA-5, and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) gridded precipitation. We assessed the uncertainty and bias in these precipitation datasets and validated all major components of the terrestrial water balance, i.e., surface runoff, soil moisture, terrestrial water storage anomalies, evapotranspiration, and streamflow, against a combination of satellite and in situ observation datasets. Our assessment shows that ILDAS can represent the hydrological processes reasonably well over the Indian landmass with IMD precipitation showing the best relative performance. Evaluation against ESA-CCI soil moisture shows that MERRA-2 based estimates outperform the others, whereas ERA-5 performs best in simulating evapotranspiration when evaluated against MODIS ET. Evaluations against observed records show that CHIRPS-based estimates have the highest performance in reconstructing surface runoff and streamflow. Once operational, this system will be useful for supporting transboundary water management decision making in the region.
