A groundwater-based irrigation modeling system that optimizing water use efficiency and ensuring long-term sustainability of groundwater resources.

Abstract

Maximizing crop yield while ensuring sustainable water use is a critical challenge in agriculture, particularly in areas that are dependent on groundwater for irrigation. This study aims to develop and implement a groundwater-based irrigation modelling system that maximizes crop yields, optimizes water use efficiency, and ensures the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources. The research introduces new parameters into the Mass Balance Equation to investigate the relationship between Evapotranspiration (ET) and Specific Yield (SY) during the dry season, from November to April. Groundwater recharge, usage, and levels are assessed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the resource dynamics.
