Abstract

As the population grows and people's living standards rise, the global demand for freshwater is constantly increasing. Agriculture is not only the largest consumer of water in the world, but also one of the cheapest and least efficient consumers with the highest subsidy rates. Nowadays, optimal management of irrigation water is very essential issue and valuable tools calls irrigation management models to improve for this optimizing and Facilitating. For this purpose, the two-year 2004-2005 & 2005-2006 experiment to determine the accuracy of the simulation AquaCrop model calibration and AquaCrop indices barley crop was in Darab-IRAN. Many countries, especially those located in arid and semi-arid areas, need water to produce agricultural products, and many of our country's crops and gardens are also cultivated in the water.
