Water balance and water use efficiency in fish-rice integrated agriculture-aquaculture

Aquaculture is dependent on water supply. This result reveals pond consumptive water use and water balance in fish-rice integrated system. Water balance variables were measured daily from meteorological station and computed following the standard procedure. Total water input and output in fish culture were 318.0923 and 26.631 m3, respectively; while in rice cultivation, they were 79.9722 and 6.5732 m3. They were...
