Layers: Description: This dataset contains a satellite observed timeseries of the extent of winter irrigated crop areas in NSW from present day, back to 1987. Observations have been derived from medium-resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery (30m/pixel Landsat with a 16 day return interval and 10 m/pixel Sentinel-2 with a 5 day return interval). The presence of irrigated crops is identified using established vegetation‑condition indicators commonly referenced in remote‑sensing literature to assess crop vigour and water‑stress patterns. Additionally, Earth observation-derived evapotranspiration datasets are incorporated to support the estimation of irrigated crop areas, improving the distinction between irrigated and non‑irrigated agricultural land. Expert opinion is then applied to qualify whether a field was irrigated, based on its greenness relative to the surrounding landscape throughout the winter season (May to October). The polygons are delineated in a semi-supervised manner and are accurate to the closest hectare.A metadata and data quality statement is available in the Documents section of the dataset homepage on the NSW SEED portal.
