Abstract

The North Unit Irrigation District of central Oregon is an area of limited water availability. Because of the limited water resource, close monitoring of water conveyance, application, and drainage are required. An HRB Singer AN/AAS 14 optical-electronic thermal infrared scanning system was used to test its utility for monitoring one aspect of the water management scheme, the conveyance or canal system. Thermal infrared imagery, sensed in the 8–14 μm portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, was found to be an economical and practical method of detecting conveyance system leakage sites.
