FIELD EXPERIMENTATION METHOD
• Water table should be at considerable depth (atleast
3m deep for bed crops).
• Irrigation water is applied to selected field
experimental plots in such a way that there is neither
runoff nor deep percolation.
Various levels of irrigation
• Water supplied to the crop is correlated with the yield
obtained.
• Quantity of water used to produce the yield that
appears most profitable is taken as the CU.
• Seasonal consumptive use measurement.
SOIL WATER DEPLETION METHOD
• Suitable for partly uniform soil.
• Water table should be deep enough so that it does
not influence the soil water fluctuations in the root
zone (atleast 3m).
• Soil water content in different layers of the root zone
are measured just before and after irrigation.
• Soil water depletion between successive
measurements is considered as the consumptive use
for that period.
• Frequent soil water measurements - for more
accurate information.

PENMAN METHOD
Et : evapo-transpiration, mm/day
α : psychromatic constant = 0.49 mm Hg/°C
Δ : slope of the curve between saturated vapour
