Conteúdo: | Drought events and water use conflicts drive the need for more efficient water management in rice-growing areas of the Brazilian Cerrado. Recent studies have shown the advantages of adopting water-saving irrigation in the region but a comprehensive assessment is needed. This study aims to model the performance of rice cultivation and water productivity in the tropical floodplains of the Cerrado biome of northern Brazil in response to irrigation management under contrasting seasonal rainfall levels. Twenty-seven scenarios of rice cultivation, resulting from the combination of three sites, three irrigation treatments, and three rainfall regimes, were simulated with the calibrated and validated hydrological model SWAP/WOFOST. The rainfall levels high (1501 mm), intermediate (952 mm), and low (510 mm) were relative to 120 days and obtained from weather stations located in the region. Two irrigation methods (flooding and water-saving irrigation) were compared against rainfed cultivation. Actual transpiration of the flooding and water-saving irrigation was 9 % and 4 % higher in the intermediate and high rainfall scenarios while it was 30 % and 20 % higher in the low rainfall scenario compared to the rainfed treatment. The largest deep percolation loss was 12700 mm per season for flood irrigation in the low rainfall scenario, whereas the lowest one was 349 mm for the rainfed treatment in the low rainfall scenario. Changing from flooding to water-saving irrigation increases water productivity by an average of 9 % and decreases relative grain yield by 5-12 %. Water productivity based on bottom flux increased on average by about five times (high rainfall scenario) to ten times (low rainfall scenario) when comparing flooding with water-saving irrigation. Results suggest that saving irrigation based on crop transpiration can reduce deep percolation losses and increase water productivity in the rice-growing areas of the Brazilian Cerrado.
