Availability of water resources in a watershed or a basin has always compelled the hydrologists across the globe to think and devise various methods to arrive at the correct estimate of the same. Although the exact estimation of this precious resource is not possible, its availability and proper use helps greatly in the management of water resources in a basin. The amount of water required for the crops to grow healthy and achieve maximum yield is called as the crop water requirement. This is the amount of water required over and above the requirement met with the rainfall by a crop to grow healthy. Correct estimation of the available water and its management with proper use over the basin would result in maximum crop yield and meeting the needs of other stake holders like the drinking water, industrial use, etc. Present study aims to estimate the crop water requirement for various crops in Venna river basin, Maharashtra. Food and Agriculture Organization (1984) Modified Penman method is a globally accepted method for crop water requirement estimation which gives the most accurate results.
