  Impact of Climate Change on Crop Water Requirement in Kamala River Basin of Nepal
  Author(s): Manoj Lamichhane*, Yogendra Mishra and Abin Raj Chapagain1
  
  The future climate, which has a crucial role in any hydrological events that occur within the basin, will have more uncertainty. Due to changing climatic variables, the basin's water balance will become more unpredictable. Not only will climatic parameter changes, but it will also adversely affect the water management within the basin. In this study, an effort has been carried out to compare the future River flow of the Kamala basin and the future water demand of the Kamala irrigation command area. The CROPWAT and AQUACROP model, based on climatic, soil, and crop data, was used to estimate the future Crop Water Requirement (CWR), Irrigation Water Requirement (IWR), and Biomass yield. Since the Hydrological station is absent within the basin, the simulation of the future river flow of the Kamala basin using any hydrological model was unworkable. Therefore, the W.. Read More»
