General Instructions:
Each group will have their own crop type and its characteristics. Please read each
parameter carefully that are described below the following tables.

Each group will be calculate ETo, Crop Water Requirement and Irrigation Schedule
Make sure that you have your own folder on the desktop represented by groups crop
name.
Cheating or talking across other groups rather than within your team members will be
disqualified your result.
Maximum given time to show the result will be 1:40 min.
