Abstract

The growing population and low crop water productivity (CWP) in Pakistan is putting immense pressure on its water resources. The aim of this study was to assess water productivity of one of the country's largest growing crops. The wheat crop in the Rohri canal command area during 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 was selected for this purpose. Wheat is the major crop of the Rabi (winter) season in the Sindh province of Pakistan. Rohri is one of the major canals of the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) serving Sindh's central and lower parts. METRIC EEFLUX (Mapping Evapotranspiration at high Resolution with Internalized Calibration) processed imageries were used to calculate CWP along with the crop yield statistics collected by the Sindh government. Crop masks were used to delineate the cropping area. The wheat crop's total consumptive water uses during 2014-2015 was 340.08 mm and 202.19 mm in 2016-2017. The associated CWP values in these two years were 1.03 kg/m³ and 1.02 kg/m³.
