Assessment on Water Footprint of Paddy Cultivation in Kedah

Abstract A measurable metric to gauge both the amount of water pollution and consumption per unit crop is footprint (WF). WF can be used as a thorough indicator utilization freshwater resources. To increase yield crops, agriculture, consumed large water. prevent shortages, it crucial understand how much during agriculture. This study’s goal estimate region Kedah’s for paddy cultivation in year 2017. By using CROPWAT 8.0 computer programming, climatic parameters were estimation evapotranspiration blue green proceed with accounting. The methodological framework followed requirement (CWR) option based on assessment manual. Focusing accounting phase, blue, grey was calculated. findings demonstrated that three forms footprints differ significantly from one another. In Kedah, value (1201m 3 /ton) higher than (130m (357m footprints. 71% indicates there enough rainfall support growth.
