Abstract

In this paper, the net irrigation water requirement estimation is carried out for different crops in Limbasi branch canal command area of Mahi Right Bank Canal (MRBC) project located in Gujarat, India. The Hargreaves – Samani approach for reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation is used for thirteen years of available data and the mean monthly ETo values were computed which were analyzed statistically. The potential crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and net irrigation requirement (NIR) of different crops in kharif, rabi and summer season were estimated. Results show that the NIR values (mm) for kharif crop paddy was 166.8; rabi crops jowar, tobacco & wheat were 404.3, 504.2 & 564.7 and summer crops paddy & bajri were 851.1 & 619mm respectively.
