CROPWAT is a program for Windows designed to help you calculate plant water requirements and integration standards based on soil, climate and other data. Thanks to this utility, you are able to create irrigation schedules for different management conditions and water supply schemes for various crop patterns. It is also possible to evaluate these practices and estimate yield in both rainfed and irrigated environments.

Process data

After launching the software solution, you can begin working right-away. If you do not have local data available, you may use preset crop and soil files which come with the package. In case you do not have information about climate, you have the option to obtain it from weather stations all over the world using another tool called Meteonorm.

Develop irrigation schedules

In order to get the results you need, you have to insert data about the evapotranspiration process. In other words, it is the quantity of water evaporated from the soil and consumed by plants. The development of irrigation schedules is based on a daily soil-water balance. You can configure options for water supply and dispensation. Moreover, you have the ability to calculate schemes according to custom cropping patterns.
