Salah satu program penting dalam intensifikasi budidaya padi adalah pengelolaan air irigasi yang efisien. Pada subak di Bali pelaksanaan jadual tanam biasanya dilakukan secara serenpak sehingga terjadi puncak kebutuhan air yang tinggi. Akibatnya sangat berisiko terhadap kekurangan atau kelebihan air irigasai pada subak tersebut. Kondisi demikian menyebabkan efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi pada subak menjadi rendah. Salah satu solusi untuk meingkatkan efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi tersebut adalah dengan melakukan jadual tanam tidak serenpak yang pada subak dikenal dengan istilah nyorog. Dengan demikian perlu dikaji besarnya peningkatan efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi jika jadual tanam dilakukan secara nyorog Berdasarkan data yang telah dikompilasi diperoleh efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi yang dilakukan saat ini sebesar 76,52%. Saat ini pada obyek penelitian jadual tanam dibagi menjadi dua kelompok dengan beda jadual tanam antar kelompok tersebut sekitar satu bulan, dengan awal jadual tanam mulai Pebruari I.  Jika dilakukan jadual tanam secara serempak pada Pebruari II diperoleh efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi sebesar 69,05%.  Jika jadual tanam dilakukan secara nyorog dengan membagi subak menjadi empat kelompok dan setiap kelompok perbedaan jadual tanam sekitar setengah bulan serta awal jadual tanam pada Bulan Pebruari I maka diperoleh efisiensi penggunaan air irigasinya 86,52%.  Dengan demikian jadual tanam secara nyorog dapat meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan air irigasi dari 69,05% menjadi 86,52%.    One important program in the intensification of rice cultivation is efficient irrigation water management. In subak in Bali the planting schedule is usually carried out simultaneously so that there is a high peak of water demand. As a result, it is very risky for irrigation water shortages or excess in the subak. Such conditions cause the efficiency of the use of irrigation water in subak to be low. One solution to improve the efficiency of the use of irrigation water is by not planting simultaneously which are known as nyorog in subak. Thus, it is necessary to assess the magnitude of the increase in the efficiency of the use of irrigation water if the planting schedule is carried out in a systematic manner. Based on the data that has been compiled in Subak Guama  the efficiency of the use of irrigation water is 76.52%. At present the object of the planting schedule is divided into two groups with different planting schedules between groups of about one month, with the start of the planting schedule starting in February I. If the planting schedule is simultaneously held in February II, the efficiency of irrigation water use is 69.05%. If the planting schedule is carried out systematically by dividing subak into four groups and each group different planting schedules of about half a month and the beginning of the planting schedule in February I, it is obtained that the water use efficiency of irrigation is 86.52%. Thus the planting schedule nyorog can increase the efficiency of irrigation water use through 69.05% to 86.52%.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of various irrigation water (W) and nitrogen (N) levels on growth, root-shoot morphology, yield, and irrigation water use efficiency of greenhouse tomatoes in spring–summer and fall–winter. The experiment consisted of three irrigation water levels (W: 100% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), 80%, and 60% of full irrigation) and three N application levels (N: 100%, 75%, and 50% of the standard nitrogen concentration in Hoagland’s solution treatments equivalent to 15, 11.25, 7.5 mM). All the growth parameters of tomato significantly decreased (p < 0.05) with the decrease in the amount of irrigation and nitrogen application. Results depicted that a slight decrease in irrigation and an increase in N supply improved average root diameter, total root length, and root surface area, while the interaction was observed non-significant at average diameter of roots. Compared to the control, W80 N100 was statistically non-significant in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. The W80 N100 resulted in a yield decrease of 2.90% and 8.75% but increased irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) by 21.40% and 14.06%. Among interactions, the reduction in a single factor at W80 N100 and W100 N75 compensated the growth and yield. Hence, W80 N100 was found to be optimal regarding yield and IWUE, with 80% of irrigation water and 15 mM of N fertilization for soilless tomato production in greenhouses.

Abstract The evaluation of irrigation water efficiency plays an important role in the efficient use of agricultural water resources and the sustainable development of agriculture. In order to make the evaluation of irrigation water use efficiency indicators more comprehensive and scientific, this paper constructs a new optimal model of evaluation indicators. By combining the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model with the Information Significance Difference (ISD) evaluation indicators model, a novel DPSIR-ISD evaluation indicators combination model was constructed. Ten riverside irrigation areas in the Sanjiang Plain of northeastern China were selected for analysis. The results show that the DPSIR-ISD model was used to reduce the number of indicators from 44 to 14; these 14 indicators reflected 91.88% of the original information. The DPSIR-ISD method proposed in this paper takes into account the completeness and simplicity of the indicators system, and is more in line with the actual situation in the field. These results can provide a simpler and more convenient system for optimizing indicators for the study of evaluation indicators used to analyze irrigation water use efficiency.

Irrigation water use efficiency is a primary evaluation index that links economic production development with the efficient use of water resources. Canal water conveyance is an important part of irrigation, and the distribution characteristics of canal systems have an important influence on irrigation water use efficiency. In this paper, 75 irrigated districts in Heilongjiang Province in 2015 were selected as the study objects. The main, branch, lateral, and sublateral canals were graded into first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order classes, respectively. The irrigation districts were divided into three classes, that is, four-order, three-order, and two-order, according to the canal orders that the irrigation districts contained. The canal system framework was described by Horton’s law. The fractal dimension of the canal system was calculated based on the bifurcation ratio and length ratio of the canals. The relationships between fractal dimensions and irrigation water use efficiency were evaluated. The results showed that the irrigation water use efficiency of the four-order and three-order irrigation districts initially increased and then decreased with increases in the fractal dimension (D). In the irrigation districts, an irrigation water use efficiency of more than 10 × 103 hm2 and less than 0.67 × 103 hm2 was proportional to the increase in the fractal dimension, whereas the opposite result was found for districts with (0.67–10) × 103 hm2. The irrigation water use efficiency of the four-order and two-order irrigation districts with less than 3.3 × 103 hm2 had the greatest potential to increase the water use efficiency. Therefore, canal system reconstruction suggestions for different irrigation districts were provided. The results have important theoretical significance and practical value for the improvement of irrigation construction and the promotion of irrigation water efficiency planning.
