Crop simulation models are significant apparatus used for measuring crop yield response to various conditions, also designed for conceiving systems to get better agricultural administration. Sugarcane is a major C4 crop grown in canal irrigated areas of the country. It has been observed that climatic distortions particularly precipitation and greatest temperature affect crop productivity and sugar recovery. AquaCrop is a typical model used here to develop the yield of sugarcane under different situations. The development of canopy cover is mainly affected by evapotranspiration and lacking of soil water balance. So the prime objective of this research is to study the stability of soil water in the root sector by delivering more cane yields with less water. By using AquaCrop, the crop water productivity can be maintained, canopy cover gets developed and finally the crops can be saved from destruction. It is an incorporated application programming to mimic the associations between plant, water and soil. So, field administration and water system administration should be considered for producing more water productivity. Four basic segments are required in this model namely climate, crop, field and irrigation management and soil profiles to expand the water efficiency.
