*3.2. Spatiotemporal Occurrence of Unmet Demand under Each Irrigation Site*

The results of this study showed that the seasonal unmet demand was observed in all months of the year. This is ranged from 6 <sup>×</sup> 106 m3 to 35.9 <sup>×</sup> 10<sup>6</sup> m3 in August and May, respectively. The maximum water shortage occurred in May and declined relatively to an optimal level in July, September, and October. This indicates that, except during the rainy season (July to September), the water demand is not adequately met for each station (Table 2).
