The study was aimed at assessing the water productivity in wheat crop taken by Water User Association (WUA), Bijori canal command area in Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh. In the command area, among all the minors the highest discharge was obtained in Nunpur minor in case of head and tail reaches (0.443 and 0.096 m3/s respectively) and lowest in Badayakheda minor in head, middle and tail reaches (0.025, 0.018 and 0.004 m3/s respectively). However in middle reach the highest discharge was recorded in Piparia minor (0.209 m3/s). The water productivity of wheat crop in Bijori WUA command area ranged from 0.25 to 0.71 kg/m3in head reach, 0.24 to 0.69 kg/m3in middle reach and 0.25 to 0.74 kg/m3 in tail reach. Among the reaches highest water productivity was obtained in middle reach (0.51 kg/m3) followed by tail (0.49 kg/m3) and head (0.45 kg/m3) reach whereas among farmers the highest water productivity was recorded in case of medium farmers (0.58 kg/m3) and lowest in case of marginal (0.41 kg/m3)
farmers.
