I. Abstract
Water resources in the Western
United States (U.S.) are scarce and
recent droughts have only exacerbated
disputes over water usage. As such,
managing water resources effectively
and efficiently is important for both
private and public sector water users.
However, monitoring water use
comprehensively can be difficult using
only on-the-ground techniques, due to
the labor and time required for such
efforts. Recent case studies initiated by
the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS)
Land Remote Sensing (LRS) Program
have indicated that Landsat satellite
imagery plays an important role in
Western U.S. water resource
management. Landsat satellites are the
only satellites to continuously collect
the thermal imagery needed to measure
evapotranspiration and provide it to the
public at no cost. Evapotranspiration
derived from thermal imagery can be
used to objectively assess present and
past water use on the landscape. For
example, thermal data from Landsat
satellites has been used in court cases to
help settle water disputes. Landsat
satellites also provide a range of other
imagery which are used in water
resource management. For example, the
imagery can be used to identify different
types of vegetation, such as agricultural
crop types. There are unique
considerations users must address in
using Landsat imagery in water
resources applications. The newest
Landsat satellite, Landsat 8, launched in
2013, has two thermal spectral bands
whereas the Landsat 7 satellite has one
band. Thermal imagery from both
Landsats 7 and 8 is also collected at a
lower spatial resolution (60 meters and
100 meters, respectively) than the
multispectral imagery collected by these
satellites, though it is resampled to the
same 30-meter resolution as the rest of
the imagery.
While the handful of completed case
studies have indicated the importance
of Landsat imagery in water resource
management, a broader picture of the
use of the imagery by water resources
users is not available. This makes it
difficult for LRS to meet the needs of
these users both now and in the future.
Given the consistency in water rights
and the general scarcity of water in the
Western U.S. as compared to the rest of
the nation, we are proposing a survey
that will focus specifically on the users
who apply Landsat imagery in water
resources in this region. Questions will
be asked to determine the extent and
type of use of Landsat imagery in water
resource management projects, the
preferred characteristics (e.g., spatial
