Kura Local Government area of Kano State of Nigeria was used as the study area, where the size of the farm used (irrigable area) was 3 hectares. In order to use the software, the General Data File on the irrigated area, a Meteorological Data File and a Cropping Pattern File were input into the CRIWAR software. The Meteorological data of Kano state was collected from Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMeT). CRIWAR calculated the irrigation water requirements, created tables and graphs of reference evapotranspiration, crop irrigation water requirements per 10-day period or month, cropping intensity, cropping pattern and effective precipitation. All tables and graphs can be imported into commonly used word-processing software. The CRIWAR strategy component was applied in a three hectare irrigated perimeter to estimate the irrigation water requirement and FAO Modified Penman Method was used throughout the modeling. It was found that the length of crop development stages for wheat planting period was 200 days were initial stage (40days), development (60days), mid-season (60 days) and late season (40 days). From the research, it was observed that according to CRIWAR the wheat should be planted and harvested in 8 months from November to June. It was found that the total water requirement for wheat irrigation in Kura local government area was determined to be 520.67 mm/cropped area.
