ABSTRACT

In the ensuing decades of climate change, water and food crisis is all but inevitable. In such a precarious scenario, getting into the skin of the dynamics and relationship between the various climatic parameters is the need of the hour. Correlation among these indicators can probably aid in reviewing the irrigation facilities during various crop cycles. Not only does the Crop Water Requirement (CWR) vary in one particular crop season, but the geographic location influences the correlation between different parameters which is also a vital element. A detailed study of the latter can help in implementing effective strategies for mitigating the drought impact.
