OpenET是一种卫星动力工具,通过实时跟踪蒸发蒸发,帮助西岸农民节约用水。 OpenET, a satellite-powered tool, helps West Coast farmers save water by tracking evapotranspiration in real time.

一个称为OpenET的新的卫星动力工具正在改进美国西部的水管理,精确追踪蒸发的气流——土壤和植物流失的水——帮助农民优化灌溉,在干旱加剧和气温上升的情况下减少浪费。 A new satellite-powered tool called OpenET is improving water management in the U.S. West by accurately tracking evapotranspiration—water lost from soil and plants—helping farmers optimize irrigation and reduce waste amid worsening droughts and rising temperatures. 该工具为大面积地区提供实时、透明的数据,支持水权的执行、养护和国家间协定,特别是在科罗拉多河流域,在那里,米德湖和鲍威尔湖等水库处于历史最低点。 The tool provides real-time, transparent data across large areas, supporting water rights enforcement, conservation, and interstate agreements, especially in the Colorado River Basin where reservoirs like Lake Mead and Lake Powell are at historic lows. OpenET通过非营利合作开发,并得到公共媒体和基金会资金的支持,为在变化的气候下可持续用水提供了一个可扩展的解决办法。 Developed through a nonprofit collaboration and supported by public media and foundation funding, OpenET offers a scalable solution for sustainable water use in a changing climate.
