The water utilized and water productivity of rice rice and maize vegetable cropping systems were studies at Wargal Kothakunta sub -watershed in Siddipet district Telangana. The mean water used and water productivity of crops was estimated for kharif rice 13299 m3 ha and kg m-3 rabi rice 14298 m3 ha and kg m-3 maize 3472m3 ha and kg m-3 sweet corn 3378 m3 ha and Keywords kg m-3 cotton 5421m3 ha and kg m-3 sunflower 9209 m3 ha and kg m-3 tomato drip irrigation 5162 m3 ha and kg m-3 tomato surface irrigation 11665 m3 ha and kg m-3 Cropping system bhendi surface irrigation 9302 m3 ha and kg m-3 green chillies surface irrigation 7597 m3 ha Horticultural crops and kg m-3 French bean surface .
