How to Develop an Irrigation Schedule Using Cropwat 8.0

CropWat is a computer program developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to estimate irrigation requirements based on climate, crop and soil data. This is a widely used tool for estimating irrigation water requirements for practical field level use and it is also used for research purposes. In addition, the tool can be used for developing irrigation schedules for different management conditions and calculating scheme water supply for different cropping patterns. This article will guide you in how to calculate your own irrigation water requirements, enabling you to successfully develop an irrigation schedule.
