• Abstract summary: Climate change has caused reductions in river runoffs and aquifer recharge resulting in an increasingly unsustainable crop water demand from reduced freshwater availability. Achieving food security while deploying water in a sustainable manner will continue to be a major challenge necessitating careful monitoring and tracking of agricultural water usage. We apply state-of-the-art self-supervised deep learning techniques to optical remote sensing data, and find that we are able to detect irrigation with up to nine times better precision, 90% better recall and 40% more generalization ability than the traditional supervised learning methods.

• Abstract: Climate change has caused reductions in river runoffs and aquifer recharge resulting in an increasingly unsustainable crop water demand from reduced freshwater availability. Achieving food security while deploying water in a sustainable manner will continue to be a major challenge necessitating careful monitoring and tracking of agricultural water usage. Historically, monitoring water usage has been a slow and expensive manual process with many imperfections and abuses. Ma-chine learning and remote sensing developments have increased the ability to automatically monitor irrigation patterns, but existing techniques often require curated and labelled irrigation data, which are expensive and time consuming to obtain and may not exist for impactful areas such as developing countries. In this paper, we explore an end-to-end real world application of irrigation detection with uncurated and unlabeled satellite imagery. We apply state-of-the-art self-supervised deep learning techniques to optical remote sensing data, and find that we are able to detect irrigation with up to nine times better precision, 90% better recall and 40% more generalization ability than the traditional supervised learning methods.

  In real-world applications, image degeneration caused by adverse weather is always complex and changes with different weather conditions from days and seasons. We develop a novel continual learning framework with effective knowledge replay (KR) on a unified network structure. It considers the characteristics of the image restoration task with multiple degenerations in continual learning, and the knowledge for different degenerations can be shared and accumulated.

  Many existing satellite-based monitoring studies utilize index-based methods to monitor large water bodies such as rivers and oceans. We propose a new Water Quality Enhanced Index (WQEI) Model, which is designed to enable users to determine contamination levels in water bodies with weak reflectance patterns. Our results show that 1) WQEI is a good indicator of water turbidity validated with 1200 water samples measured in the laboratory, and 2) by applying our method to commonly available satellite data (e.g. LandSat8), one can achieve high accuracy water quality monitoring efficiently in large regions.
