| Abstract | In canal command areas water is supplied through a network of canals
and related structures. Different projects follow different delivery
patterns. Simulation models for scheduling irrigations were developed to
study the irrigation schedules required in canal command areas. The crop
selected were paddy (both transplanted and broadcasted) and sugarcane . The
required data in terms of soil properties and climatic information was
collected from the selected area. Irrigation schedules were developed both
for sugarcane and paddy based upon allowable soil moisture depletions. The
irrigation schedules predicted by the model were compared with t hose
actually followed by the farmers. It was seen in dry season 1989 over
irrigation as indicated by model simulation has resulted. This requires
further verification in other seasons. The study gave the procedure for
evaluating the service unit efficiency which is useful for understanding the
water use in different outlets of a large irrigation projects. |
