Global climate change should pose serious impacts on water resources and agriculture in the future. The aim of this research was to calculate water requirements for sugarcane grown in 7 governorates in Egypt under current climate and under-ongoing climate change scenario up to 2100. The results indicated that water requirements for sugarcane will increase by 12 %-18% compared to the current water use depending on governorate location.. where the applied irrigation amount is expected to increase in all governorates under climate change water requirements due to long growing season (365 days) of sugar cane, its water requirements under climate change conditions increased by 11-19%. This study investigates the projected changes in evpotranspiration and irrigation water demand for sugar cane crop Middle and Upper Egypt. The mean air temperature as statistically downscaled and compared with the current climate, defined as the period 1971-2000. FAG-56 Penman-Monteith equation was implemented to estimate ETo by using current climatic data
