Improving irrigation water management is a key concern for the agricultural sector,and it requires extensive and comprehensive tools that provide a complete knowledge of crop water use and requirements.This study presents a novel methodology to explicitly estimate daily gross and net crop water requirements,actual crop water use,and irrigation efficiency ofcenter pivot irrigation systems,by mainly utilizing the Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument(MSI)imagery at the farm scale.ETMonitor model is adapted to estimate actual water use(as the sum of canopy transpiration and evaporation of water intercepted by canopy and evaporation from soil)at daily/10-m resolution,benefiting from the high-resolution Sentinel-2 data and thus to assess the irrigation efficiency at the farm scale.The gross irrigation water requirement is estimated from the net crop water requirement and the water loss,including the water droplet evaporation directly into the air during application before droplets fall on the canopy and canopy interception loss.The method was applied to a pilot farmland with two major crops(wheat and potato)in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China,where modern equipment and appropriate irrigation methods are deployed for efficient water use.The estimated actual crop water use showed good agreement with the ground observations,e.g.the determination coefficients range from 0.67 to 0.81 and root mean square errors range from 0.56mm/day to 1.24mm/day for wheat and potato when comparing the estimated evapo-transpiration with the measurement by the eddy covariance system.It also showed that the losses of total irrigated volume were 25.4%for wheat and 23.7%for potato,respectively,and found that the water allocation was insufficient to meet the water requirement in this irrigated area.This suggests that the amount of water applied was insufficient to meet the crop water requirement and the inherent water losses in the center pivot irrigation system,which imply the necessity to improve the irrigation practice to use the water more efficiently.
