description |
The Heihe River Basin (HRB) is the second largest inland river
basin, located in the arid region of Northwest China with a serious water
shortage. Evaluation of water productivity will provide scientific
implications for agricultural water-saving in irrigated areas of the arid
region under climate change. Based on observed meteorological data, 23 GCMs
outputs and the ERA-40 reanalysis data, an assemble statistical downscaling
model was developed to generate climate change scenarios under RCP2.6,
RCP4.5, RCP8.5 respectively, which were then used to drive the SWAP-EPIC
model to simulate crop growth in the irrigated areas of the middle HRB for
the future period from 2018 to 2047. Crop yield showed an increasing trend,
while crop water consumption decreased gradually in Gaotai and Ganzhou
irrigated areas. The water productivity in future 30 years showed an
increasing trend in both Gaotai and Ganzhou areas, with the most significant
increase under RCP4.5 scenario, which were both larger than 2 kg m<sup>−3</sup>.
Compared with that of the period from 2012 to 2015, the water productivity
during 2018–2047 under three RCP scenarios increased by 9.2, 14.3
and 11.8 % in the Gaotai area, and 15.4, 21.6, 19.9 % in the
Ganzhou area, respectively. |
