Abstract:

In recent years, the large-scale planting of water-intensive crops is one of the important reasons for the increasing shortage of agricultural water resources in Hebei province. Based on the meteorological data and crop growth period data of 21 national standard meteorological stations in Hebei province from 1999 to 2018, this study calculates the water demand, effective precipitation, irrigation water demand and precipitation coupling degree of winter wheat, summer maize, apple, pear, watermelon, grape and other water-intensive crops in Hebei province by Penman-Monteith formula and piecewise single value average crop coefficient method. The spatial and temporal variations of crop water use in Hebei province were comprehensively analyzed from the perspectives of water use efficiency (WUE), irrigation water use efficiency (WUEI), nutrient water use efficiency (WUEN), and economic water use efficiency (WUEE). The results revealed that the water requirement of fruit crops was higher than that of grain crops. The water requirement for crop irrigation from large to small was apple, pear, winter wheat, grape, watermelon, and summer maize. During the growth period, the largest effective precipitation was apple and pear, and the lowest was winter wheat; the precipitation coupling degree of summer maize was the highest, followed by watermelon; the precipitation coupling degree of all crops indicated an upward trend in the past 20 years except for winter wheat. The WUE, WUEI, and WUEE of fruit crops were higher than those of grain crops, particularly, WUEE of fruit crops was 10 times higher than that of grain crops. In contrast, the WUEN of grain crops was higher than that of fruit crops. The comprehensive analysis of various crop water use efficiency provides valuable insights for optimizing cropping systems and achieving agricultural water sustainability in Hebei province.

Key words: crop water requirement, effective precipitation, irrigation water demand, water use efficiency
