requirement estimation and planning tool. It aims to (i) verify 
            
70
SAPWAT3 program outputs, (ii) demonstrate SAPWAT3 to potential users, 
            
71
and (iii) evaluate adoption potential using innovation adoption theory 
            
72
(Rogers) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It describes the 
            
73
background and rationale for disseminating SAPWAT3 widely, given its 
            
74
development over many years of WRC-funded research and its use in

irrigation planning and licensing contexts. The report also documents

enhancements such as a module to import crop data \u201cen masse\u201d

and a module to compare SAPWAT3 estimated daily evapotranspiration

79
refinement of crop coefficients and growth stage parameters. It

includes methodology, example outputs (graphs/correlations), and
