Timely assessment of area under different standing crops and their spatial distribution is essential for irrigation planning
and management in command areas. The conventional methods of collecting information on crop acreage are time-consuming
and uneconomical, especially when large areas are involved. The modern Remote Sensing technology
provides real-time, accurate and cost-effective data on crop acreage due to its multi-spatial, multi-spectral and multi-temporal
nature. The attempt has been made in this study to use the multi-date data of RESOURCESAT sensors like
AWiFS, LISS-III and LISS-IV as well as multispectral data of IKONOS with suitable digital imaging processing
techniques to identify Sugarcane, which is a long duration crop and Onion, which is a short duration crop, in order to
plan need based irrigation facilities, to collect the revenue from the farmers in the form of water assessment, better crop
management and future crop planning.
