The Impact of AWD on rice productivity and profitability in ZIS, Hubei, China

This is a component of a big research project in China whose objective is to develop irrigation management strategies and techniques for rice based systems that are high in water efficiency, productivity and cost effective. This research is an interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists from Wuhan University, Zhanghe irrigation System, IWMI in Sri Lanka and IRRI. This particular study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of AWD on crop management practices and the profitability of rice production in Zhnaghe Irrigation system.

本数据集为中国某大型科研项目的组成部分，该项目旨在研发适配稻作系统的灌溉管理策略与技术，以实现高水分利用效率、高生产效率及高成本效益的目标。本研究由武汉大学（Wuhan University）、漳河灌溉系统（Zhanghe Irrigation System）、斯里兰卡国际水管理研究所（IWMI, International Water Management Institute）与国际水稻研究所（IRRI, International Rice Research Institute）的科研人员开展跨学科合作完成。本专项研究旨在评估间歇灌溉（AWD, Alternate Wetting and Drying）对漳河灌溉系统内作物管理措施及水稻生产收益的影响。
