In terms of the working quality of agricultural production and the working quality of non-agricultural production, the evaluation index system of the working quality of farmers is established. By using integrated furry method based on AHP, we determine the weight of each index, and establish...

Quantification of evapotranspiration (ET) is critical to sustainable management of irrigated agriculture. To date, attempts at measuring regional ET in arid and semi-arid regions with complex surface characteristics have been largely unsuccessful. In this study, we proposed a remote sensing data...
