This product provides a timeseries of earth observation derived (Landsat and Sentinel satellites) location and extent of NSW irrigated crops, from 1987 to the present day updated on an ongoing basis for the selected catchments.

This spatial dataset contains irrigated crop area polygons derived from publicly available Earth Observation collections of Landsat and Sentinel satellite sensors.

The following two datasets are available within this product:

  • Summer irrigated crop areas: representing irrigated crops grown during the summer season; and
  • Winter irrigated crop areas: representing irrigated crops grown during the winter season.

This page does not contain downloadable data directly. The datasets are available via the Related Datasets section below, which can be expanded to view individual datasets.


Note: If you would like to ask a question, make any suggestions, or tell us how you are using this dataset, please visit the NSW Water Hub which has an online forum you can join.
