THE FOLLOWING IMAGES IDENTIFY CROP TYPES BY
SEASONAL
VARIATION. THREE SPOT IMAGES WERE PURCHASED PER YEAR: EARLY
SPRING,
EARLY SUMMER, AND LATE SUMMER. BY COMBINING IMAGES FROM DIFFERENT
SEASONS
WITHIN THE YEAR, THROUGH THE USE OF GIS METHODS, INFERENCES ABOUT CROP
TYPES ARE POSSIBLE (SEE LEGEND BELOW). MONITORING CROP TYPES USES
THE SAME SPOT IMAGES AS MONITORING WATER USES. BY SHARING
SATELLITE
IMAGERY THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES ENLISTED THE PARTICIPATION OF
THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THIS APPLICATION CONTRIBUTED
TO THE EFFICIENT USE OF THE SPATIAL INFORMATION.
