Empirical formulas for groundwater use under wheat growth conditions in the Huaibei Plain of China

Using groundwater for crop growth plays a key role in the sustainable management of water resources and irrigation and drainage design. Some studies did not consider the influence of different crop growth stages and the non-linear effect of the groundwater depth on groundwater use. In this study, th...

description Using groundwater for crop growth plays a key role in the sustainable management of water resources and irrigation and drainage design. Some studies did not consider the influence of different crop growth stages and the non-linear effect of the groundwater depth on groundwater use. In this study, three types of formulae for groundwater use were developed by referencing the phreatic evaporation formula without crops. According to the observation data, groundwater depth and use, and wheat evapotranspiration were fitted using these three non-linear formulae in each crop growth stage. The Accelerated Gene Algorithm (AGA) was used to optimize the parameters, and their performance indices were calculated. We observed that groundwater use increased gradually as the decrease in groundwater depth and the increase in wheat evapotranspiration; the correlation coefficients of wheat evapotranspiration and groundwater use were small (such as 0.539, 0.428) in the seedling stage and mature stage and large (such as 0.631, 0.625) in other stages. The performance of the Aviriyanover formula was the best with a correlation coefficient of 0.686 between the simulation and observation; therefore, this formula was recommended to determine groundwater use. HIGHLIGHTS Three groundwater use formulae were developed: the Aviriyanover, Ye Shuiting, and power function.; Groundwater use increased gradually as groundwater depth decreased increasing wheat evapotranspiration.; The Aviriyanover formula is recommended for groundwater use as it showed the least error.;
