Abstract: The objective of this paper is to project the prospects of Geographical Information System (GIS) in irrigation water management. Precise assessment, analysis and management of irrigation water in spatial temporal domain can be efficiently carried out by proper blending of GIS techniques. Estimation of irrigation water requirement from a farm level to regional scale is possible due to the management and spatial analysis capabilities of GIS. Conglomeration of GIS helps in precise management of water for irrigation and producing more crops per drop of water.
