“…A large amount of freshwater is utilized by agriculture worldwide, and 60% of crops are produced by rain-fed agriculture, which covers 80% of all cultivated area [1]. his has led to an ongoing decrease in the amount of freshwater that can be used for agricultural production [2]. Leaving enough water in rivers and lakes to support ecosystems, meet the expanding requirements of cities and industry, and increase agricultural water output is a critical solution to the developing water scarcity.…”
The situation is the outcome of both increased water demand and climate change, the shortage of water resources is increasing in Cambodia. In this regard, efficient irrigation water management for vegetable production is a crucial need for farmers. The main crops farmed in Chroab commune, Santuk district, Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, are cabbage, potato, and tomato. This article uses the CROPWAT model to predict the water requirement. The pressure plant was used to measure the soil’s soil water capacity, and the findings ranged from 45.65 to 234.159 mm/m. The analysis showed that the overall CWR for crop water for the entire growing season for cabbage, potato, and tomato was 589.4 mm/165 days; 442.5 mm/130 days; and 585.4 mm/145 days, respectively. The findings of the study contribute to investigating the irrigation water requirements with scientific soil and climate inputs.
