Abstract
The calculation of irrigation demands and return flows is an essential component of the Chi Basin (Northeast Thailand) simulation model. The irrigation demand model is based on a simple field water balance so does not use the concept of effective rainfall. The paper describes the structure of the model. A sensitivity analysis on the model output is described.
