A field soil water balance model is developed for non-ponded “aerobic rice” in North China Plain. Increasing water scarcity necessitates the development of irrigated rice systems that require less water than traditional flooded rice. The aerobic rice is an effort to save water in response to growing worldwide water scarcity with the pressure to reduce water use and increase water productivity i...
