A field case study was performed to investigate the effect of shallow ponding in paddy field on irrigation water requirement of direct seeded rice. In addition, an economic analysis was made to see the effect of no-till direct seeded rice on cost reduction. A field study was performed at a 2.1ha paddy field in Kimjae city, Chonbuk province from 1991 to 1999. Various direct seeding methods such as dryland seeding, wetland seeding, and no-till wetland seeding were introduced. Then, cost reductions due to the direct seeding and no-till were calculated. In addition, to investigate the effect of shallow ponding on irrigation water requirement, field measurements such as irrigation water volume, drainage water volume, rainfall depth, and ponding depth, were made at a 40a plot within the same area in 1988 and 1990. The results of the shallow ponding study showed that the irrigation water depth, rainfall, and the drainage depth were 379mm, 458mm, and 448mm in 1988 growing season, and 274mm, 819mm, and 736mm in 1990, respectively. The shallow ponding irrigation method saved irrigation water by about 20% with higher yield compared with the traditional method. The economic analysis showed that won \640,000 per ha can be saved by direct seeding due to no nursery cost, and \1,220,000 per ha due to no-till and no nursery cost. The yields ranged 540 to 640 kg per 10a during the study period with an average of 590kg per 10a. If these cropping techniques with no-till direct seeding and shallow ponding depth for rice cropping prove to be advantageous with further study, they can be adopted for the most of the paddy fields in Korea.

본 연구에서는 유역 물수지 방법을 기반으로 제주도 지역에 적합한 용수량 산정방법을 제안하고, 이를 기반으로 4개 하천유역에 대해 지역 및 고도에 따른 증발산량, 용수량 특성을 평가하였다. SWAT-K 유역모형을 적용하여 1992∼2013년 기간에 대해 잠재증발산량과 실제증발산량을 산정하고, 이로부터 유역의 순물소모량을 추정하였다. 고도증가에 따라 잠재 증발산량은 선형으로 감소하는 반면, 실제증발산량은 강수량에 의한 토양내 가용수분의 증가로 인해 약 400 m 고도까지는 증가하다가 이후 고도에서는 식생, 가용수분의 감소, 저온현상 등으로 인해 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 고도에 따른 순물소모 량은 강정천유역을 제외한 3개 유역에서 고도증가에 따라 순물소모량이 선형적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 고도 200 m 이하 작물경작지에서의 순물소모량은 연간 559∼680 m로 분석되었다. 추정된 용수량을 실제 관정 이용량과 비교한 결과, 여름철(6∼8월) 양수량은 급수관행으로 인해 크게 증가하는데 비해, 작물경작에 따른 순물소모량은 오히려 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대해서는 향후 더 많은 관정 이용량과 추가적인 대상지역을 반영하여 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된

In order to plan the effective irrigation project in unripened reclaimed paddy fields, the estimation of criteria of irrigation water requirements for the normal growth of crops is very important. This study was carried out to determine the leaching requirements before cultivating crops, the consumptive use of water by the growth of crops, and preventive water requirements of resalinization during the growth period in unripened reclaimed paddy fields. The irrigation water requirements in good permeable soils were estimated as 2,530mm for culvert treatment(S1CW3) and 3,080mm for non-culvert treatment(S1NW4), which were 1.8 times and 2.4 times as high as the irrigation water requirements in common rice fields, respectively. And, in case of poor permeable soils, 3,360mm for culvert treatment(S2CW4) and 3.580mm for non-culvert treatment(S2NW4) were estimated, which were 2.5 times and 2.8 times higher than the normal irrigation water requirements, respectively.
