Abstract

Understanding soil water percolation in paddy fields is helpful to optimize irrigation schedule for rice production and improve water use efficiency under various irrigation practices and groundwater depths. Calibrated HYDRUS-1D model was used to simulate soil water movement and water balance in this study. We conducted scenario analyses based on the model to evaluate the combined effects of irrigation amount in an irrigation event (irrigation amount), irrigation duration, antecedent soil moisture, and groundwater depth on deep percolation (DP) in paddy fields. Results showed that during an irrigation event, there would be higher DP in paddy fields with higher antecedent soil moisture (≥−10kPa), larger irrigation amount (7cm) and/or free drainage in the bottom of rice root zones. We also used a classification and regression tree model to analyze the relative contribution of different factors to DP. Results indicated that antecedent soil moisture was the primary factor that contributed 46.3% of DP variation. Groundwater depth contributed 32.5% of DP variation, while irrigation amount (18.7%) and irrigation duration (2.5%) contributed least for DP variation. Furthermore, effects of these factors on DP interacted with each other. In scenario analysis, the contribution of antecedent soil moisture increased from 16.1% to 65.2% as the groundwater depth increased. When irrigation amount rose from 1cm to 5cm, the contributions of antecedent soil moisture increased to 77.6% from 57.1%; when irrigation amount was 7cm, the contributions of antecedent soil moisture decreased to 46.4%. The contribution of irrigation amount rose to 55.7% from 28.4% with the increase of antecedent soil moisture, while the contributions of groundwater depth to DP showed opposite variation to irrigation amount as antecedent soil moisture altered. Based on relative contribution of these factors, optimal combinations of irrigation practices, antecedent soil moisture and groundwater depth were screened out to control DP for promoting rice growth and improving water use efficiency.
