Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural irrigation, and in particular to a method for calculating irrigation water demand taking into account the fine distribution of crops, as well as corresponding electronic equipment and storage media. Background Art
[0002] Calculating irrigation water requirements is a core component of farmland water management, directly impacting agricultural production efficiency and the rational use of water resources. Accurate irrigation water requirement calculation not only ensures that crops receive adequate water during growth, but also prevents water waste and improves the efficiency of irrigation systems. Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce global water resources, accurately calculating farmland irrigation water requirements is crucial for improving irrigation water utilization efficiency and achieving refined agricultural water resource management.
[0003] Existing irrigation water demand calculation methods, such as the crop coefficient method, are simple and widely used, but have the following drawbacks: (1) they ignore the spatial heterogeneity of crop types and cannot depict the fine distribution of water demand within farmland; (2) they do not dynamically simulate the soil moisture balance process, rely on static parameters, and have insufficient calculation accuracy; (3) they lack high-resolution spatial data support and are difficult to meet the needs of refined water resource management. Among the existing technologies, CN106557658A focuses on climate change prediction, but relies on sensor networks and does not fully consider the impact of crop spatial distribution differences on water demand; CN115687850A uses image segmentation to calculate coverage, but only relies on visual features to extract crop information, which is insufficient for fine crop classification and soil moisture dynamic simulation in complex farmland environments; CN106570627B focuses on future climate scenarios, but its calculation framework focuses more on long-term trend prediction and lacks support for fine description of crop distribution at the current farmland scale and real-time water balance simulation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an irrigation water demand calculation method that combines high-resolution remote sensing classification, dynamic water balance model and multi-source data rasterization processing to achieve accurate estimation of water demand under fine crop distribution. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for calculating irrigation water requirements that takes into account the fine distribution of crops, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Based on the crop coefficient method, this method takes into account the fine distribution of crops and detailed farmland water revenue and expenditure, solving the problem that the existing technology cannot reflect the spatial heterogeneity of crop water requirements within crops. Refined estimation of regional irrigation water requirements can be achieved by relying only on conventional meteorological, soil parameters, and remote sensing crop classification data.

[0022] Where, P is the daily precipitation, unit is mm; P e is the effective precipitation, unit is mm;
[0023] Step S42: Based on soil parameters and soil water storage capacity, calculate the leakage rate of the lower root layer. The formula is:

The sources of remote sensing crop classification data include publicly available remote sensing inversion datasets and datasets generated by high-resolution satellite images (such as Sentinel-2 or Landsat satellite images) combined with remote sensing crop classification algorithms (such as random forest algorithms).

These data are interpolated into raster data of the same resolution, with a resolution of not less than 30 meters × 30 meters. The details are as follows:
[0056] Crop classification data: The crop classification data in this embodiment is generated based on Landsat satellite images and random forest crop classifiers, such as Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes four categories: sunflower, corn, wheat and melons and vegetables, with a resolution of 30 meters × 30 meters; crop classification data is stored as raster numbers to facilitate subsequent raster scale calculations.
[0057] Meteorological data: Meteorological data were obtained from national meteorological stations in and around the Hetao Irrigation District. Kriging was used to interpolate the station meteorological data into raster data with a resolution of 30 m × 30 m, ensuring that the spatial resolution matched the crop classification data.
[0058] Soil parameter data: Soil type and parameter data for the whole country were obtained from the Resource and Environmental Science Data Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Hetao Plain section was intercepted using ArcGIS software. The soil parameter data were also linearly interpolated into raster data with a resolution of 30 m × 30 m.
[0059] Step S2: Based on the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method and combined with grid meteorological data, calculate the daily reference crop evapotranspiration at the grid scale. The specific formula is:
[0060]

[0074] The relationship between RAW and TAW is:
[0075] RAW=p×TAW=p×(θ fc -θ wp )×Z r
[0076] Where p is the critical loss coefficient of crop soil water, 0 <p<1,无量纲;θ fc is the field water holding capacity of the soil, in cm 3 cm -3 θ wp is the soil wilting water content, unit: cm 3 cm -3 ; Z r is the thickness of the root layer, in mm;
[0077] Step S43: Calculate the actual evapotranspiration based on the crop coefficient, soil water stress coefficient and daily reference crop evapotranspiration, using the formula:

[0089]
[0090] Where, IWD is the irrigation water demand during the crop growth period, unit is mm; n is the total number of days in the crop growth period, unit is d; I e is the irrigation efficiency coefficient, dimensionless.
[0091] Finally, Figure 3 As shown in the figure, GIS technology is used to generate the spatial distribution map of irrigation water demand during the crop growth period in the Hetao Irrigation District of Inner Mongolia, and the total amount of irrigation water demand at the regional scale is calculated based on the crop area.
[0092] Through the above steps, this embodiment achieves a refined calculation of the irrigation water demand of the Hetao Irrigation District in Inner Mongolia, and generates a daily crop irrigation water demand distribution map with a spatial resolution of 30 meters × 30 meters.
