“…Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is very important for calculating RDI. It uses either mean temperature data or maximum and minimum temperature values, depending upon the method Hargraves method, Thornthwaite, or Penman-Monteith (Anderson and French, 2019;Hargreaves, 1994;Thornthwaite, 1948). Hargraves method was adopted in this study to calculate PET, requiring monthly maximum and minimum temperatures as input data and it can be calculated using Equation 5 (Hargreaves and Samani, 1985) (Equation 6).…”

Drought variability analysis is of utmost concern for planning and efficiently managing water resources and food security in any specific area. In the current study, drought spell occurrence has been investigated in the Balochistan province of Pakistan during the past four decades (1981-2020) using standardized precipitation index (SPI), reconnaissance drought index (RDI), and precipitation deciles (PD) at an annual timescale. Precipitation and temperature data collected from 13 synoptic meteorological stations located in Balochistan were used to calculate the SPI, the RDI, and the PD for calculation of drought severity and duration. Based on these indices, temporal analysis shows adverse impacts of drought spells in Nokkundi during 1991-1993, in Barkhan, Dalbandin, Quetta stations during 1999-2000, whereas Barkhan, Dalbandin, Lasbella, Sibi during 2002-2003, Zhob during 2010-2011, Kalat and Khuzdar during 2014-2015, and Panjgur during 2017-2018. Also, the aridity index for each station was calculated based on the UNEP method shows that major part of Balochistan lies in the arid zone, followed by the hyper-arid in the southwestern part and the semi-arid zones in the northeastern part of the province. SPI and RDI results were found more localized than PD, as PD shows extensive events. Furthermore, principal component analysis shows a significant contribution from all the indices. For SPI, RDI, and PD, the first three principal components have more than 70% share, contributing 73.63%, 74.15%, and 72.30% respectively. By integrating drought patterns, long-term planning, and preparedness to mitigate drought impacts are only possible. The RDI was found more suitable and recommended in case of temperature data availability.

“…The energy‐balanced ET estimation is highly advantageous in calibrating over various ET estimation methods. One such approach is K c − VI estimation (Allen et al ., 1998; Allen et al ., 2007; Singh and Irmak, 2009; Jose and Irmak, 2011; Mehta and Pandey, 2015; Anderson and French, 2019). The calibration of K c − VI in estimating ET with METRIC has fewer errors as it has a very close relationship between vegetation and transpiration.…”

Improved regular and rapid monitoring techniques are needed to quantify evapotranspiration (ET) precisely on agricultural fields to enhance the efficient usage of water resources and protect water quality and the environment. This study proposes estimating and mapping ET using a vegetation index coupled with a crop coefficient estimation method over the famous rice bowl region of Tamil Nadu, India. The study utilized a very high‐resolution satellite—Sentinel—of resolution 10 m. The study is based on a crop coefficient—Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)—based ET estimation, which is one of the most adaptable practical approaches in quantifying crop water usage in multiple phases of crop growth on a regional scale. The results have been further calibrated using the surface energy‐based Mapping Evapotranspiration at High Resolution with Internalized Calibration (METRIC) model to assess estimation correctness. The estimations analysed for the 2016–2019 kharif cropping season show good overall correlation with the coefficient of determination (R2) of ≥0.72, with mean bias error (MBE) of ≤0.0009 mm day−1 and root mean square error (RMSE) of ≤0.67 mm day−1, indicating a positive assessment of ET for the delta region of Tamil Nadu for reaching vindicable intendance of crop water in this region.

“…Rainfall. Based on [33], reference evapotranspiration (ETo), crop water requirement (ETc), and effective rainfalls (Pe) were evaluated from climate data through CropWat 8.0 model. Maximum irrigation consumption of scheme for actual crop pattern also evaluated by using CropWat model that was used to design main canal of irrigation scheme.…”

Irrigated agriculture has been practiced in Ethiopia for several centuries and performance of scheme was poor due to inadequate irrigation water management practices. This study was conducted to evaluate irrigation water management indicators and to suggest possible mitigation measure for Arba Minch irrigation scheme. Primary data such as field and canal flow, soil moisture content, and canal slope were measured on field and soil physical properties were evaluated in the laboratory. Utilizing climate and crop data, the CropWat 8 model was employed to estimate seasonal crop water requirements, while furrow and border irrigation dimensions were designed using SURDEV software. The average field application efficiency (30%), storage efficiency (76%), percolation losses (66%), and overall efficiency (25%). The average relative water and irrigation supply in the scheme were 1.7 and 3.3, respectively. The mean water and land productivity of the wheat, onion, pepper, watermelon, and maize of the Arba Minch irrigation scheme were 0.1 kg/m3 and 0.5 ton/ha, 0.9 kg/m3 and 4.9 ton/ha, 1.5 kg/m3 and 6.2 ton/ha, 0.5 kg/m3 and 0.6 ton/ha, and 0.9 kg/m3 and 4.2 ton/ha, respectively. Watermelon had the highest net returns per hectare ($1,693), followed by onion ($1,829), pepper ($1,221), and wheat ($1,057). In terms of net returns per cubic meter of water, onion led with $0.3, followed by watermelon ($0.2), pepper and wheat with the lowest at $0.1 (top of form). The average value conveyance efficiency, water surface elevation ratio and manning coefficient were 82%, 42%, and 0.06%, respectively. The existing, and corrected length were 843 and 135 m (border irrigation) and 20 and 595 m (furrow irrigation), respectively. In conclusion, the Arba Minch irrigation scheme was very poor performance and low efficiency. To address these issues, farmers and irrigation authorities implement improved irrigation water management practices. Policymakers should promote sustainable water management and explore crops with higher water productivity for overall scheme improvement.
