College, Vinayaka Missions University, Salem, India Abstract Many new technologies, such as remote sensing, Irrigation is one of the most important inputs for an efficient geographic information system and expert system, are and sustainable agricultural production. Thus the subject of now available for application to irrigation systems and can efficient irrigation water management has been the talk of the significantly enhance the ability of water managers last few decades. It has been emphasized that proper (Mennati et al., 1995, Ray and Dadhwal, 2001, and monitoring and evaluation is the key to successful management. Xanthoulis et al., 1998). The assessment of management Irrigation management in the most projects has so far been strategies requires the analysis of the current irrigation essentially water supply based. The dynamics of crop water and drainage system and prediction of the potential demands are not explicitly considered. Consequently, irrigation changes to various parameters. To enable these to be systems do not supply the right quantities of water at the right assessed and monitored in a quick and efficient way, time. Irrigation experts are seeking the ways in which the water is used very efficiently.
