Dataset
To map the irrigated and rainfed areas of Asia and Africa .
Dataset represents initial results of irrigated area mapping of Asia and Africa. Unlike the previous Global Irrigated Area Map of 2000 (GIAM 2000), the focus of this study is restricted to Asia and Africa, which are highly populated and cultivated regions, but at the same time, the most data poor parts of the world.
This dataset entails quantity of green biomass, annual and semi-annual cycles of vegetation change, dependence on the annual rainfall cycle, single and double crops, irrigated triple and continuous crop, rainfed single and double crop, water managed non irrigated single and double crop.
