Irrigation Scheduling is a prime requirement for optimizing the use of water resources in irrigated agriculture. The majority of irrigation projects in India perform at a low overall efficiency of 30% (Sarma and Rao, 1997), which provides an opportunity for meeting the increasing water demands by adopting efficient methods of water management. The National Commission on Integrated Water Resources Development (NCIWRD, 1999) has projected that India’s surface irrigation systems will work at only 40, 50 and 60% efficiency levels in 2010, 2025 and 2050, respectively. This demands for optimization of canal irrigation Scheduling. | Assessment of water requirement and irrigation schedule for right bank canal command of Shahid Veer Narayan singh dam using CROPWAT
