Paper No.270. 000211315 520__ $$aThis paper assesses the agricultural water consumption and productivity of the predominant crop paddy rice and wheat for the Indo-Gangetic river basin (IGB) in South Asia. A new approach was adopted in the study to integrate census, remote sensing and weather data to assess crop water productivity (WP) across large scale. The average paddy field ET for rice for major growing period of June 10 to October 15 is 416 mm, which is 70% of rice potential evapotranspiration (ETp, equals to ET0*Kc). Average rice water productivity is 0.74 kg/m3. The average evapotranspiration (ETa) and WP of wheat is 299 mm and 0.94 kg/m3 respectively. Significant variations were observed for the ETa, yield and WP of rice and wheat. The scope for improvement of water productivity could be assessed by comparing “hot” and “bright” spots in consultation with factors such as rainfall and topography. It is found while improving yield in long term will finally lead to improved WP, reducing non-beneficial ET from low yield areas is a effective approach to improve WP in short term. Integrated land, crop and water management is the key to sustainable development of the region. 000211315 650__ $$aAgribusiness 000211315 650__ $$aAgricultural Finance 000211315 650__ $$aCrop Production/Industries 000211315 650__ $$aFarm Management 000211315 650__ $$aInternational Development 000211315 650__ $$aProductivity Analysis 000211315 6531_ $$aRice 000211315 6531_ $$aWheat 000211315 6531_ $$aCultivation 000211315 6531_ $$aWater productivity 000211315 6531_ $$aIrrigated farming 000211315 6531_ $$aEvapotranspiration 000211315 6531_ $$aRemote sensing 000211315 6531_ $$aSouth Asia 000211315 6531_ $$aNepal 000211315 6531_ $$aIndia 000211315 6531_ $$aPakistan 000211315 6531_ $$aBangladesh 000211315 6531_ $$aChina 000211315 6531_ $$aAfghanistan 000211315 6531_ $$aIndo-Gangetic River Basin 000211315 700__ $$aCai, Xueliang 000211315 700__ $$aSharma, Bharat R. 000211315 700__ $$aMatin, Mir Abdul 000211315 8564_ $$998f7f983-11db-488c-a3a5-0c3b7f5e6936$$s563949$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/211315/files/H043387.pdf 000211315 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/211315 000211315 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:211315$$pGLOBAL_SET 000211315 912__ $$nSubmitted by Chandima Gunadasa (c.gunadasa@cgiar.org) on 2015-10-28T10:05:09Z No. of bitstreams: 1 H043387.pdf: 563949 bytes, checksum: 3e0f5013ee584923c7564a98a6329733 (MD5) 000211315 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-10-28T10:05:09Z (GMT).
