COMPUTER APPLICATION FOR CROP WATER REQUIREMENT DETERMINATION

Abstract

Water being a scarce quantity, more attention is now diverted towards water management. One of the major component of water management is the determination of crop water requirement. For determination of crop water requirement potential evapotranspiration is still calculated using climatological data and then crop coefficients are to be worked out. For calculation of potential evapotranspiration lot of climatological data is required and the calculations are quite cumbersome if done mannually for repeatitive work. So is the case for crop coefficient values. With the availability of fast computers, this work can be done accurately, speedily and economically with the help of computers.....
