Abstract

Water is becoming a scarce resource as a result of the growing demand in various purposes such as
hydropower, irrigation, and water supply etc. With growing population the demand of water for various
purposes is ever increasing. On the other hand, the availability of water of water resources is limited in space
and time. A systematic and scientific planning for its optimal utilization is high imperative. Use of modern
techniques in irrigation will go a long way in economizing consumption and saving of water which will bring
greater areas under command and will ultimately result in more agricultural yield. Water requirements and
irrigation scheduling of major crops, namely, Sugarcane, Rice, Tobacco, etc. are determined using the
CROPWAT model.
