Many times, the spatiotemporal variation of yield is observed in the same agriculture land because of the variation in soil structure and properties. The land-atmosphere interactions responsible for these variations can be modeled and analyzed to predict crop-water requirement, crop health and agricultural yield. The underlying parameters(agrohydrological parameters) that change with these interactions, such as the soil moisture, Evapotranspiration, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) can be monitored to analyze the crop health.

VATI, a web-based interactive map developed at Satyukt Analytics Pvt Ltd provides these agro-hydrological variables in an easily accessible and understandable interface. VATI is now updated with a new feature, which allows one to upload their farm details and then can download the agrohydrological parameters specific to the farm in near real-time under all weather conditions. Farm details include the location file, Soil type, crop type, and sowing date. VATI also provides access to historical data since 1975.
