Deployment of daily west-wide remotely sensed reservoir evaporation application

Reclamation Regions, Technical Service Center, and Research and Development Office have partnered with the Desert Research Institute to develop and implement a methodology for remotely sensing daily reservoir evaporation. This product will have the ability to provide real-time, daily reservoir evaporation estimates for most, if not all Reclamation facilities. High priority reservoirs for this effort include Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Lahontan Reservoir, Stampede Reservoir, Clear Lake, Elephant Butte, and American Falls Reservoir.
