Abstract The hydrological cycle has been massively impacted by climate change and human activities. Thus it is of the highest concern to examine the effect of climate change on water management, especially at the regional level, to understand possible future shifts in water supply and water-related crises, and to provide support for regional water management. Fortunately, there arises a high degree of ambiguity in determining the effect of climate change on water requirements. In this paper, the Statistical DownScaling (SDSM) model is applied to simulate the potential impact of climate on crop water requirement (CWR) by downscaling ET0 in the region of Western Maharashtra, India for the future periods viz., 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s across three meteorological stations (Pune, Rahuri, and Solapur). Four crops i.e. cotton, soybean, onion, and sugarcane are selected during the analysis. The Penman-Monteith equation is used to calculate reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0), which further in conjunction with the crop coefficient (Kc) equation is used to calculate crop evapotranspiration (ETc) / CWR. The predictor variables are extracted from the NCEP reanalysis dataset for the period 1961-2000 and the HadCM3 under H3A2 and H3B2 scenarios for the period of 1961 – 2099. The results indicated by SDSM profound good applicability in downscaling due to satisfactory performance during calibration and validation for all three stations. The projected ET0 indicated an increase in mean annual ET0 as compared to the present condition during the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s. The ET0 would increase for all months (in summer, winter, and pre-monsoon seasons) and decrease from June to September (monsoon season). The estimated future CWR show variation in the range for cotton (-0.97 to 2.48%), soybean (-2.09 to 1.63 %), onion (0.49 to 4.62 %), and sugarcane (0.05 to 2.86 %).

Crop water requirement is essential for agricultural water management, which is usually available for crop growing stages. However, crop water requirement values of monthly or weekly scales are more useful for water management. A method was proposed to downscale crop coefficient and water requirement from growing stage to substage scales, which is based on the interpolation of accumulated crop and reference evapotranspiration calculated from their values in growing stages. The proposed method was compared with two straightforward methods, that is, direct interpolation of crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficient by assuming that stage average values occurred in the middle of the stage. These methods were tested with a simulated daily crop evapotranspiration series. Results indicate that the proposed method is more reliable, showing that the downscaled crop evapotranspiration series is very close to the simulated ones.

Evapotranspiration Rate

Arecanut is a plantation crop sustains for decades and its crop water demand varies with the age. For scheduling and management of irrigation water, crop water requirement information is important. To calculate the crop water requirement, estimation of evapotranspiration is crucial. The term Evapotranspiration (ET) refers to transport of water molecules into the atmosphere from soil (soil evaporation) and vegetation (transpiration) surfaces. It is a most important component of hydrological cycle and also the most difficult factor to quantify. Crop water need is the amount of water required for balancing loss due to evapotranspiration. There are different methods proposed by researchers for the estimation of evapotranspiration. The conventional methods of evapotranspiration estimation from ground data are tedious. The advancement in remote sensing data provides estimation of evapotranspiration in a global scale. The invention of thermal remote sensing has benefitted greatly since it reduces the field data requirement for estimation of ET. It also helps to understand spatial distribution of landmass and different estimates also in estimation of evapotranspiration over a larger extent timely and periodically. In this study to estimate Arecanut crop evapotranspiration Hargreaves Samani, Penman Monteith and Priestly Taylor methods were used and compared. Arecanut crop evapotranspiration rate estimated form Landsat 8 and MODIS data are showed similar range of values between 3 to 4.45 mm/day. The study area covers an area of 835.3 hectares of Arecanut crop and the gross crop water need is found to be 23059 m 3 .

Climate Change Effect

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries for climate change in agricultural water management. A research had been done to assess climate change effects on irrigation water use of wheat and maize in the northern part of Bangladesh. The twenty nine years of data (1990-2018) were analyzed with Mann-Kendall test as well as Sen’s slope for climate change impact and the responsible weather parameters due to climate change were identified with correlation coefficients. The crop water requirement of wheat in Bogura and Rangpur was declining at the rate of 3.3mm and 2.3mm per decade respectively. Net irrigation water requirement of wheat at both Bogura and Rangpur was inclining at the rate of 1mm and 10mm per decade respectively because the effective rainfall of these regions was decreasing at 5mm and 11mm per decade respectively. The crop water requirement of maize for similar districts was increasing at the rate of 3.2mm and 2.5mm per decade respectively although net irrigation water requirement had statistically non-significance for climate change effect. The weather parameter, which was mainly responsible for climatic change in irrigation water requirement, was increasing temperature. Therefore, wheat cultivation might be coped with climate change in the northern part of Bangladesh rather than maize on the basis of irrigation and water management.

Climate change will have a significant effect on crop water requirement (ETc). The spatial and temporal variations of water requirement of maize under climate change are essential elements when conducting a global water security assessment. In this paper, annual reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) and the crop water requirement of maize were calculated by the single crop coefficient method. The crop water surplus deficit index (CWSDI) and coupling degree of ETc and effective precipitation (Pe) were calculated to analyze the relationship between ETc, ET0, and Pe. The result shows that maize average annual ET0, ETc, and precipitation were 552.97, 383.05, and 264.97 mm, respectively. Moreover, ET0, ETc, and Pe decreased by 3.28, 2.56, and 6.25 mm every decade from 1960 to 2015. The ETc decreased less than Pe did, which led to the decreasing of both CWSDI and the coupling degree of ETc and Pe. The tendency of ET0, ETc decreased first and then increased, while Pe and CWSDI increased first and then decreased, from west to east of the Heilongjiang Province. In addition, the highest ET0, ETc, and lowest CWSDI and Pe were found in the western part of Heilongjiang Province. This study indicated that even though the water deficit in the western region was alleviated and the water deficit in the eastern region grew gradually serious from 1960 to 2015, the drought situation in western Heilongjiang Province should still be taken seriously.

Irrigation has helped in increasing food production and achieving food security in India. However, climate change is expected to affect the crop production in irrigated area particularly in groundwater irrigated areas. This study was undertaken for suggesting strategies to climate change impact on irrigated crops based on projected change in crop water requirement and groundwater availability for irrigation in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Prevailing groundwater recharge in the study area during monsoon was 4.01 MCM (Million cubic meter). The same for various scenarios varied from -15.47 MCM to 5.08 MCM. It was revealed that groundwater recharge would increase if it is estimated based on the climate prediction done using local weather data. The impact of climate change on groundwater availability is evident in scenarios based on INCCA and IPCC predictions where it varied from -2.66 MCM to 1.02 MCM. Contrary to common perceptions, crop water requirement of prevailing cropping system would not increase in future if all the important climatic parameters are considered for its prediction. This may be due to the fact that effect of increase in temperature on crop water requirement may be compensated by decrease in other climatic parameters such wind speed and duration of daily sunshine hours. Results indicated that climate change may not have much impact on sustainability of prevailing cropping system as per the crop water requirement is concerned. Based on water requirement and groundwater availability under various climate change scenarios, appropriate strategies to cope up the climate change impact on irrigated crops have been suggested.

The problem of climate change has become very strongly during last two decades on global scale in view of the projected consequences on the environment of unguarded states. Gradually rising temperature and its effects on the crops here and rainfall are obvious in many areas around the world. Climate change related to natural and anthropogenic processes in Pakistan is the major source of study in this report. The impacts of these climate changes appear to be additional component of the large number of existing water related problems in every station of Pakistan. The objective of this report is to analyze the global warming effect on CWR. For this purpose, we made seven scenarios So, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. From So-S3 crop water requirement increases in all regions but from S4-S6 crop water requirement remains same. For this purpose we selected different cities from agro ecological stations to check the effect of climate change on CWR. Faisalabad, Gupis, Jacobabad, Kalat, Karachi, Multan, Nawabshah, Peshawar and Zhob are the regions selected for this research. Different scenarios have been made such that, in So scenario temperature remains same but from S1, S2 and S3 scenarios temperature is increases 1, 2 and 3 degree centigrade respectively. While, in S4, S5 and S6 scenarios precipitation increases or decreases according to the climatic changes of that area (So, S1, S2, S3, ) and then we increase or decrease the precipitation rate by 5%, 10% and 15% (S4, S5, S6) in accordance with the zone. From result it is concluded that the crop water requirement in arid and in semi-arid is increasing annually on the other hand the total value of effective rainfall in Pakistan is decreasing.

The paper presents a review of the research activities dealing with evapotranspiration (ET), crop water re-quirement (CWR) and the use of these parameters in other research, particularly in climate change. The first part dis-cusses the development of these research methodologies globally. Later the achievements of the national research are discussed. Macedonia did not developed capacities for measuring of the ET and the crop water requirement. There is only one practice which is followed – field experiments for the assessment of the water balance with bucket approach. The estimation of evapotranspiration is based mainly on the Penman – Monteith FAO 56 procedure. Due to the lack of input data the less data intensive Thornthwhaite methodology is applied. In the country the ET and the crop water requirement are used in irrigation projects, in research activities and in the assessment of the effects of water limita-tion on crop yield, particularly in climate change. Recently some activities dealing with the use of crop biophysical models WOFOST and CropSyst are taken.
