N2  - In canal command areas water is supplied through a network of canals  and related structures. Different projects follow different delivery  patterns. Simulation models for scheduling irrigations were developed to  study the irrigation schedules required in canal command areas. The crop  selected were paddy (both transplanted and broadcasted) and sugarcane . The  required data in terms of soil properties and climatic information was  collected from the selected area. Irrigation schedules were developed both  for sugarcane and paddy based upon allowable soil moisture depletions. The  irrigation schedules predicted by the model were compared with t hose  actually followed by the farmers. It was seen in dry season 1989 over  irrigation as indicated by model simulation has resulted. This requires  further verification in other seasons. The study gave the procedure for  evaluating the service unit efficiency which is useful for understanding the  water use in different outlets of a large irrigation projects
