WaterParked
OpenET monthly evapotranspiration (contiguous US)
Per-field water use, satellite-derived.
What this is
OpenET delivers per-field, monthly evapotranspiration estimates derived from a six-model satellite ensemble.
Why we surface it
OpenET is strongest on irrigated fields — knowing how much water a field is using, against neighbors, against last year, is what makes irrigation decisions and sustainability claims credible.

Parked
Parked for now — the free tier's noncommercial license terms need resolving before a wider integration.
