AbstractThis paper presents a quantitative analysis of irrigation requirements in different climatic areas of England and Wales. The analysis takes account of the differing requirements of various crops and variation in soil texture. The results include an estimation of irrigation requirement in an average year, a typical dry year for irrigation planning purposes, and an exceptional year such as 1976. The analysis was conducted using a computer programme developed jointly by the Agricultural Development and Advisory Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, together with the Meteorological Office, and a brief description is given of the salient features of the programme.
