Define Irrigation Requirement (IR).
Think about how IR relates to crop needs.
What does CWR stand for?
It’s the total water needed for crops.
What does IR stand for?
Think about the overall goal of irrigation.
True or False: Effective rainfall reduces the irrigation required.
Consider how rainfall helps in growing crops.
A botanical garden measures its CWR at 180 mm. Effective Rainfall is 60 mm, Groundwater contribution is 30 mm, and soil water available is 20 mm. Calculate the IR required and discuss how varying conditions might affect this requirement.
Use the IR equation methodically.
Analyze how an anticipated drought might change irrigation practices based on the IR equation. If CWR is fixed, what adjustments would farmers need to make in their water sourcing?
Think about water conservation strategies and management plans.
