Abstract

Water productivity is an important indicator of agricultural water use efficiency, defined as the crop yield per amount of water consumed, allowing us to understand the water consumption relative to crop production. This study aimed to estimate water productivity based on soil texture and rice cultivation period by measuring factors such as rice grain yield, evapotranspiration, and drainage using a weighable lysimeter. The water productivity was evaluated based on two criteria: 1) evapotranspiration water productivity (ETWP), 2) water output water productivity (WOWP), which considers water outflow (evapotranspiration + drainage). The soil textures used in the study were sandy loam (SL) and silty clay loam (SiCL), and the rice cultivation periods were divided into optimal and late seasons. Evapotranspiration and drainage data were collected and estimated using a weighing lysimeter. The three-year ETWP results showed a range of 0.54 - 1.28 for SL and 0.61 - 1.16 for SiCL, with a wider range observed in SL. When comparing the different cultivation periods, similar ranges were observed under all conditions. The WOWP results showed a range of 0.35 - 0.76 for SL and 0.52 - 1.00 for SiCL, indicating higher water productivity in SiCL. In particular, the late season with SiCL showed a higher WOWP range of 0.87 - 0.97. This study assessed water productivity by accurately measuring evapotranspiration and drainage with a weighable lysimeter. The findings offer scientific baseline data for estimating agricultural water use over time based on cultivation periods and soil properties.
