Abstract

Knowing the area under each crop and their water requirements, it is possible to plan the water resources for storage and distribution from the reservoirs, ponds, lakes etc. Since most  of the north coastal Andhra regional rain fed area, it is essential to estimate the water requirement of the crop either to change the cropping pattern or to schedule the irrigation facilities. For this study, Blaney and  Criddle1950) method has been adopted since this method IS suggested for area where available climatic data consists of air temperature data alone. Three representative stations, Kalingapatnam, Visakhapatnam and Anakapalleh have been taken and estimated the normal water requirements for the principal crops grown in the region.
