In the last years the spreadsheet-based models are widely applied for water resources planning and management. In this report, a model for planning water allocation from irrigation canal is presented. Algorithm based on the water balance which allows for allocation of available water resources of the source according to water requirements of crops in irrigated area, considering current technological constraints was developed and implemented in Excel environment. An existing canal was as a case study. The spreadsheet-based model provides support for efficient management of the irrigation canal.
