Abstract |
The Nam Pong River is one of the important rivers in the Northeast, Thailand. It supplies water for two large hydroelectric power plants, the largest irrigation Project in the Northeast, and domestic water supply for many areas including the city of Khon Kaen. Sugarcane and paddy rice are the two main crops occupy the catchment of the river on the upland and lowland, respectively. The river demonstrates scarcity and pollution almost every year. In order to mitigate the scarcity and pollution problems we studied consumptive water use of sugarcane in the catchment using the water footprint concept on monthly basis. We applied two calculation approaches, one is the Water Footprint Network method and the other is our method. In our method, we calculate actual and crop reference evapotranspiration by Morton CRAE and Penman-Monteith-FAO respectively using Evapotransration Package in R Environment; and effective rainfall by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (US Department of Agriculture). We used the rainfall and climatic data from three crop years, 2013, 2014 and 2015 which are wet, moderate, and drought year respectively. The results from the two methods are in agreeable and very useful for the Nam Pong River management. |
