Agricultural Water Supply

Our study area in the People's Victory Canal Irrigation District (PVCID), which is downstream of the Yellow River in China, has been undergoing agricultural water transfer to the city for municipal uses. Water supply condition data from PVCID are used to analyze the impacts of water reallocation on agricultural water supply quality, and field survey data in PVCID are used to examine the impacts of agricultural water supply quality on the utilization degree of canal water. Several issues on the current compensation methods are also discussed. Results show that the amount of irrigation water and the number of days for irrigation are affected by water reallocation, especially when the amount of water diversion significantly decreases. Regression results show that timeliness and adequacy of canal water are important factors affecting the utilization degree of canal water. Several factors reveal significant association with the utilization degree of canal water, such as the water price of canal water, water fee charge methods, soil texture of the largest cropland, precipitation, and age of farm household head. Current compensation methods can hardly compensate for the decrease in canal water reliability. Some recommendations are put forward to compensate for the adverse effects of agricultural water transfer.

The Impact

Agricultural water supply (AWS) estimation is one of the first and fundamental steps of developing agricultural management plans, and its accuracy must have substantial impacts on the following decision-making processes. In modeling the AWS for paddy fields, it is still common to determine parameter values, such as infiltration rates and irrigation efficiency, solely based on literature and rough assumptions due to data limitations; however, the impact of parameter uncertainty on the estimation has not been fully discussed. In this context, a relative sensitivity index and the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) method were applied to quantify the parameter sensitivity and uncertainty in an AWS simulation. A general continuity equation was employed to mathematically represent the paddy water balance, and its six parameters were investigated. The results show that the AWS estimates are sensitive to the irrigation efficiency, drainage outlet height, minimum ponding depth, and infiltration, with the irrigation efficiency appearing to be the most important parameter; thus, they should be carefully selected. Multiple combinations of parameter values were observed to provide similarly good predictions, and such equifinality produced the substantial amount of uncertainty in AWS estimates regardless of the modeling approaches, indicating that the uncertainty should be counted when developing water management plans. We also found that agricultural system simulations using only literature-based parameter values provided poor accuracy, which can lead to flawed decisions in the water resources planning processes, and then the inefficient use of public investment and resources. The results indicate that modelers’ careful parameter selection is required to improve the accuracy of modeling results and estimates from using not only information from the past studies but also modeling practices enhanced with local knowledge and experience.

This paper employs the multi-objective analysis to evaluate the benefits and feasibility of a local water transfer project between two water supply reservoirs in China. Firstly, the multi-objective simulation optimization model of reservoir operation for three scenarios, including no connection, virtual connection, and pipeline connection, are set up considering the compensation role of hydrology and the storage capacity of relevant reservoirs. Secondly, the Pareto-optimal solutions and the selected operation solutions for the three scenarios are analyzed to evaluate the benefits of the transfer project. And visual analytics is used to show and analyze the relation of the three scenarios’ Pareto-optimal solutions intuitively. Lastly, the results show building a pipeline can attain more benefits in reducing the amount of diverted water and water spills for the water supply system, but with some issues such as additional engineering cost and low utilization rate of the diversion pipeline. This study demonstrates that conducting a holistic multi-objective analysis for water transfer options can reveal the full trade-offs between competing objectives, show the relation of different scenarios’ Pareto-optimal solutions and provide support for informed decision-making on water diversion project planning.

Agricultural Reservoir

Weather and hydrological phenomena have been changing due to climate change as evidenced by localized torrential rainfall and precipitation falling by more than 30% compared to the annual average. From 2013 to 2017 the ninety-nine reservoirs reached a water storage rate of 0%, making a secure stable water supply for agriculture uncertain. There is an increased need for information regarding agricultural water management to respond to the changes in the agricultural environment and climate. Therefore, automatic water level measurement facilities have been introduced to determine the real-time reservoir storage capacity and agricultural water supply. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' guidelines for the installation and operation of water level measurement instruments, automatic water level facilities are currently installed at 1,734 reservoirs and 1,880 irrigation canals, with water level data generated at 10-minute intervals. The official recognition of hydrological water level data for agricultural reservoirs increased from six in 2016 to forty-nine in 2019. Anomaly detection algorithm methods for data regarding the agricultural reservoir level as well as quality control measures based on agricultural reservoir characteristics are required to minimize data quality degradation and generate reliable hydrological data over time. Though it was practically impossible to analyze the correlation between the water level or run-off and influential factors such as weather and terrain, recently a non-linear hydrological analysis has been possible using models such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). This study aims to present an anomaly detection algorithm for reservoir level data using deep learning based LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) models, in combination with other neural networks for managing quantitative information of agricultural water supply.

Supply Capacity

This study is to evaluate future agricultural water supply capacity in Geum river basin (9,865 km<sup>2</sup>) using SWAT and MODSIM-DSS. The MODSIM-DSS was established by dividing the basin into 14 subbasins, and the irrigation facilities of agricultural reservoirs, pumping stations, diversions, culverts and groundwater wells were grouped within each subbasin, and networked between subbasins including municipal and industrial water supplies. The SWAT was calibrated and validated using 11 years (2005-2015) daily streamflow data of two dams (DCD and YDD) and 4 years (August 2012 to December 2015) data of three weirs (SJW, GJW, and BJW) considering water withdrawals and return flows from agricultural, municipal, and industrial water uses. The Nash−Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of two dam and three weirs inflows were 0.55∼0.70 and 0.57∼0.77 respectively. Through MODSIM-DSS run for 34 years from 1982 to 2015, the agricultural water shortage had occurred during the drought years of 1982, 1988, 1994, 2001 and 2015. The agricultural water shortage could be calculated as 197.8 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>, 181.9 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>, 211.5 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>, 189.2 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> and 182.0 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> respectively. The big shortages of agricultural water were shown in water resources unit map number of 3004 (Yeongdongcheon) and 3012 (Geumgang Gongju) areas exceeding 25.1 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> and 47.4 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>. From the estimation of future agricultural water requirement using RCP 8.5 INM-CM4 scenario, the 3004 and 3012 areas showed significant water shortages of 26.1 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> (104.1%) and 50.9 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> (107.4%) in 2080s (2070∼2099) compared to the present shortages. The water shortages decreased to 23.6 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> (94.0%) and 43.3 × 10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup> (91.4%) below of the present shortages by developing irrigation facilities.
