  abstract = {{I}n the {S}enegal {R}iver delta, the expansion of irrigated land to meet the growing food demands, combined with the effects of climate change will lead to an increasing in the demand for agriculture water. {H}ence, it is essential to assess the agricultural water requirements of main crops in order to optimize the management of water resources and contribute to sustainable development in the delta. {T}his study aims to evaluate the irrigation water requirements of the main crops of the {S}enegal river {D}elta. {T}he determination of irrigation water requirements is based on the {P}enman-{M}onteith method, crop coefficient of the main crops, and irrigation efficiency. {D}ata from {NASA}'s {P}rediction of {W}orldwide {E}nergy {R}esources was used to calculate reference evapotranspiration. {T}he spatial analysis of the crop water requirements was carried out using the inverse distance weighting method. {T}he results showed that irrigation water requirements vary according to season, sowing date, and variety. {I}n the hot dry season, the 115- and 125-day cycle {S}ahel varieties have irrigation water requirements ranging from 12,823 to 16,634 m3/ha. {F}or the 150-day cycle varieties sown in the warm season, water requirements vary from 15,191 to 19,996 m3/ha. {D}uring the cold season, onions have irrigation water requirements that vary from 10,891 to 13,166 m3/ha. {F}or tomato, they range from 8460 to 10,418 m3/ha. {I}rrigation water requirements increase gradually from the northwest to the northeast of the delta for all seasons and crops. {T}his study could contribute to the development of strategies for optimizing irrigation water management based on sowing dates and crops.},
