## Abstract Declining groundwater levels caused by irrigation is the main problem for agricultural development in Northern China. Due to both economics and increased population, surface water has become almost nonβexistent and groundwater is the only water resource left. Currently the groundwater i

β¦ Synopsis
Based on field experiments of the water irrigation which have been conducted in the LuanCheng Agriculture Experimental Station of Chinese Academy of Sciences, SWAP (Soil-Water-Atmosphere-Plant) model developed by Wageningen Agricultural College was used as an analysis too1. The parameters in the model were calibrated with the data of irrigation experiment. Some kinds of irrigation schedules in different flow years and certain irrigation quotas in this region were developed. The different irrigation quotas based on different irrigation schedules were simulated with SWAP model. The guidance irrigation schedule was put forward as five irrigation times in winter-wheat field and one irrigation time in the summer-corn field in median flow year. The optimal irrigation schedule would be useful for reference of water use of the farmland in this region.

## Abstract Winter wheat (__Triticum aestivum__ L.) is the major crop in the North China Plain (NCP). The monsoon climate in this region causes most rain to fall in the summer season, but during the winterβwheat growing season (OctoberβMay) the rainfall is far less than the water requirements for t
## Abstract Sustainable water use is in serious crisis in the piedmont region of the Taihang Mountains in the North China Plain, owing to rapid groundwater drawdown. Estimating the water requirement for agriculture, the biggest user of groundwater, will be helpful in understanding groundwater decli

Statistical analysis of the heterogeneity of soil bulk density in regional scale is important to crop growth and tillage management. While most field data focus on bulk density up to a depth of 0.3 m, this study measured the bulk density of 28 in situ soil core locations up to a depth of 1.3 m. Geos
