### Estimation of Total Water Consumption in the Basin (Sheet 2)
The beneficial component of total ET in the basin for the wet period was 11.3 BCM/year, and the agricultural contribution was 7.2 BCM/year. The analysis using PERIANN precipitation showed that the non-beneficial water consumptions in the basin were higher than the beneficial water consumption during both the dry and wet periods. Additionally, the MWU showed maximum ET and T among

Hence, the PERSIANN precipitation dataset-based outcomes suggest that the scope to improve water management exists in the basin by controlling the major losses from the soil and wet surface. Further, stakeholders should opt for proper planning and strategies to reduce the non-beneficial consumptions, especially under MWU category, as well as to increase the beneficial consumptions in the basin. Sheet 2, derived from the CHIRPS precipitation, using the WA + framework, provides different water consumption scenarios in the basin. Separate sheets 2 for the dry and wet period were evaluated from CHIRPS precipitation dataset. The CHIRPS precipitation data-based total water consumption in the basin during a dry year (2015-2016) was 25.4 BCM/year (Figure 14). During the dry period, the shares of non-manageable, manageable, and managed water consumption in the basin were calculated as 0.1 BCM/year, 7.0 BCM/year, and 18.3 BCM/year, respectively. The water consumptions, split as ET and T, for PLU, ULU, MLU, and MWU were estimated to be 0.1 BCM/year and 0.0 BCM/year, 7.0 BCM/year and 1.8 BCM/year, 2.8 BCM/year and 0.8 BCM/year, and 15.5 BCM/year and 5.2 BCM/year, respectively, in the basin. The land use under MWU showed maximum ET (15.5 BCM/year) and T (5.2 BCM/year) among all the categories in the basin during the dry period of CHIRPS precipitation datasets. The irrigated crops under MWU shared a maximum value of ET, 15.1 BCM/year, followed by the shrubland under ULU (4.5 BCM/year) and rainfed crops under MLU (2.1 BCM/year). The CHIRPS precipitation data-based sheet 2 of the dry period estimated evaporation in the basin to be 17.5 BCM/year. Soil evaporation (14.7 BCM/year) has contributed the maximum in evaporation, followed by water evaporation (1.5 BCM/year) and interception (1.3 BCM/year). Further, the total evapotranspiration of 25.4 BCM/year in the basin includes water consumption through transpiration (7.9 BCM/year) and evaporation (17.5 BCM/year). The CHIRPS precipitation data-based sheet 2 of the dry period showed that the non-beneficial and beneficial consumptions in the basin were 17.0 BCM/year and 8.4 BCM/year, respectively. Figure 13: Sheet 2 was generated using WA+, with details of total water consumption in the basin for PERSIANN precipitation datasets, based on wet year (2016–2017). The CHIRPS precipitation-based outcomes for the wet year (2016-2017) in sheet 2 outlined the total water consumption in the basin as 29.5 BCM/year (Figure 15). The shares of non-manageable, manageable, and managed water management classes in total water consumption in the basin were 0.1 BCM/year, 8.1 BCM/year, and 21.4 BCM/year, respectively.

Figure 15: Sheet 2 was generated using WA+, with details of total water consumption in the basin for CHIRPS precipitation datasets, based on wet year (2016–2017). Sheet 2 estimated the amount of water consumption by PLU, ULU, MLU, and MWU water management classes, in the form of ET and T. The ET- and T-based water consumption by PLU, ULU, MLU, and MWU in the basin were 0.1 BCM/year and 0.0 BCM/year, 8.1 BCM/year and 2.8 BCM/year, 3.3 BCM/year and 1.1 BCM/year, and 18.1 BCM/year and 6.8 BCM/year, respectively.
