“…This is causing a large quantity of water loss through seepage from the damaged portion and affecting designed discharge in the canal section. Similar results were observed in the Bhimsagar irrigation system's water distribution network in Rajasthan state (Rajput et al, 2017). Water courses Farmers' water courses were not maintained regularly, particularly by head end farmers.…”

Irrigation projects are of paramount importance in meeting the water demand of agriculture sector. Therefore, evaluating the performance of irrigation systems makes it possible to improve agricultural water management and consequently enhances irrigation efficiency. In this perspective, the present study focuses on diagnostic analysis of the Baroda branch canal of the Som Kamla Amba irrigation project, Rajasthan, India. This study attempts to identify constraints attributed to poor irrigation efficiency and remedial strategies to improve irrigation management. Results revealed that poor maintenance and lacking immediate action of damaged water distribution network were culprits resulting in silting and vegetation infestation. Poor structures viz., tempered pipe outlets and gates, blockage of minors, unauthorized pumping, and poor operations of water distribution systems resulted in poor performance of Baroda branch canal. The performance of Baroda branch canal system can be improved by adoption of appropriate strategies.

“…Furthermore, they explored the utility of CROPWAT and CLIMWAT software for irrigation scheduling of the main crops. Several studies were conducted using CROPWAT software for estimation of crop water requirements for various purposes like evaluating the performance of canal command system (Rajput et al.,2017;Vibhute et al., 2016), estimating the potential command area of pulp and paper mill effluent (Rajput et al., 2021), Irrigation scheduling (Prattoyee et al., 2021;Rahman and Sarma, 2019;Ratnaraju et al., 2016), deficit irrigation scheduling (Diro and Tilahun, 2009), climate change impact on crop water (Naik et al., 2015), and water footprint studies (Ewaid et al., 2019) and Reference evapotranspiration modelling (Pawar et al., 2021). CROPWAT uses meteorological data from over 5000 climate stations worldwide to crop water requirements, and helps in crop planning.…”

Estimating actual crop evapotranspiration is vital in water-scarce environment affected by climate change, particularly for optimizing irrigation and enhancing crop yield. This research focuses on assessing crop water and irrigation requirement for major crops across six districts of Madhya Pradesh, India, spanning diverse agro-climatic regions. Employing CLIMWAT 2.0 and CROPWAT 8.0 software, calculated crop evapotranspiration and devised irrigation strategies tailored to local climatic conditions. The FAO-Penman-Montieth (FAO-PM) equation for reference evapotranspiration (ET0), aiding in crop water requirement computation and irrigation planning. Our findings reveal substantial variations in crop water requirements across crops and districts. For instance, soybean in Indore requires the highest water input at 380 mm, while in Guna, was least at 303 mm. Wheat, on the other hand, register the highest water needs in Khandwa at 510.6 mm and the lowest in the Neemuch district at 370.8 mm, particularly during the rabi season. Besides that, this study underscores the need for district-specific considerations, taking into account climate and soil characteristics when formulating water management strategies. Employing efficient irrigation practices and techniques to manage water stress becomes imperative for optimizing crop yield and achieving economic returns. Implementing customized approaches to enhance water use efficiency and promote sustainability in agricultural production is crucial. These research outcomes provide valuable insights for policymakers, agricultural practitioners, and water resource managers to develop context-specific water management strategies.

“…Sufficient soil moisture must be available throughout the crop growth period to achieve high yields (Kumar et al, 2013). On the other hand, traditional irrigation management issues include inadequate capacity for peak demand, unpredictable supply rates, and poor irrigation efficiency and regularity (Rajput et al, 2022). With the pan evaporation irrigation scheduling approach, farmers can change the amount of water used from one irrigation system to another without changing the amount of water used in each irrigation system and rainfall is also taken into account.…”

IntroductionIn the era of climate change, sugarcane used to face a problem associated with water shortage due to erratic rainfall patterns and lowered water tables. Improved water use efficiency using innovative crop management strategy is needed for sustainable sugarcane production. Trash mulching with different irrigation regimes can effectively modify the plant's hydrothermal micro-environment for increasing cane yield and water productivity.MethodsKeeping this in the background, a field experiment was conducted at Sugarcane Research Institute, RPCAU, Pusa, India, from 2016–17 to 2018–19 to investigate the effects of trash mulching and irrigation regimes on sugarcane productivity, water use efficiency (WUE) and soil properties in different planting systems. The field experiment comprised 12 treatments including four planting methods viz. conventional flat planting (CF; 75 cm row spacing) with trash mulching (6 t ha−1), CF planting (75 cm row spacing) without trash mulching (6 t ha−1), paired row trench (PT) planting (30: 120 cm row spacing) with trash mulching (6 t ha−1), PT planting (30: 120 cm row spacing) without trash mulching (6 t ha−1) and three irrigation schedules consisted of irrigation water (IW); cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) ratio of 0.60, 0.80, and 1.00 was laid out in strip plot design with three replications.Results and discussionThe cane yield (103.5 t ha−1) was found significantly higher in PT planting with trash mulching over the CF planting method with or without mulching. Concerning irrigation regimes using the IW/CPE ratio, it was found that the IW/CPE of 0.6 resulted in 16.9, 13.3% higher water-use efficiency, and 37.1, 40.7% higher water productivity over those under IW/CPE of 0.8, and 1.00, respectively. Furthermore, soil parameters like soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) and dehydrogenase activity were increased by 12.5, and 17.5 % due to trash mulching with trench planting as compared to those under conventional flat planting without mulching. The results suggest that planting sugarcane in paired rows and irrigation scheduling at 1.00 IW/CPE with the adoption of trash mulching practices is effective for increasing profitability by way of higher sugarcane productivity and water productivity and also in sustaining soil health.
