Small water storages (= 500 ha surface area) enhance water supply for agricultural, human and livestock consumption. Their oftentimes large numbers and wide geographic spread, plus inaccurate or absent in situ metering, make their inclusion in water resource management difficult. This research assessed the capabilities of satellite optical remote sensing and LiDAR altimetry to characterise small water storages used for irrigation, so they can be included in water resources assessments. Landsat and Sentinel-2 water maps were integrated with airborne and satellite LiDAR altimetry to assess: (i) locations; (ii) elevation-area-volume relations; (iii) dates of construction/decommissioning; (iv) actual evaporation losses; and (v) storage volume changes of floodplain on-farm water storages (FoFWS) used primarily for cotton irrigation in the semi-arid Barwon-Darling region (142,173 km2), Australia. These remotely sensed characteristics would enable the representation of FoFWS in river system models and in regional water management plans, thus enhancing socioeconomic and environmental outcomes. Results from Landsat water maps showcased the growth in FoFWS surface area. In January 1988 there were 17 FoFWS with a total maximum surface area of 101.89 ha. By December 2021, the then 105 FoFWS maximum surface area was 5587.68 ha; a 55-times increase. For the first time in a regional context, mean annual (2000/01–2020/21) standing water evaporation losses were estimated for all FoFWS. These accounted to 52.47 MCM/year, which is a substantial ~27% of the estimated long-term mean regional irrigation diversion limit (189 MCM/year). Elevation measurements from satellite LiDAR altimetry data, specifically GEDI and ICESat-2, were evaluated to assess if water volumes in FoFWS can be estimated through elevation-area-volume relations from a 1 m digital elevation model derived from airborne LiDAR data. Although GEDI's spatially variable footprint and ICESat-2's 91-day repeat cycle render them insufficient to monitor changes in water volumes in FoFWS, both satellite LiDAR altimeters provided accurate water level observations, with root mean squared differences (RMSD) of 0.38 m for GEDI and 0.12 m for ICESat-2, when compared to in situ water level measurements. ICESat-2's 0.7 m along-track sampling interval also detected changes of FoFWS structural features, such as increases in wall heights in recent years. This study demonstrated the value of integrating high-resolution airborne LiDAR data with satellite altimetry (LiDAR and/or radar interferometry), along with satellite optical water maps and rates of actual evaporation, to monitor FoFWS and other similar individually small yet collectively large reservoirs. Where similar data are available globally, then accurate information about small and dispersed water storages across poorly metered irrigated agricultural landscapes can be retrieved. Doing so will improve water resource management in the Barwon-Darling region, and in similar semi-arid and arid areas globally where irrigated agriculture is present.
