Abstract
Water is a key component in crop production, with large portions of water resources allocated to irrigation. This study analyzes crop water requirements using FAO CROPWAT 8.0 and CLIMWAT 2.0 tools, providing irrigation schedules for cabbage, tomatoes, and maize in Foumbot based on long-term climate data.
