The rice water consumption and irrigation water requirements from 1951 to 2015 under water-saving irrigation and flood irrigation were investigated using calculation method of paddy water balance and Mann-Kendall analysis based on historical meteorological data. The results indicated that the sunshine duration and rainfall present significant decreasing trends during past six decades, however, the air temperature presents significant increasing trends. The rice evapotranspiration and percolation under water-saving irrigation and flood irrigation present significant decreasing trends, but the rice water consumptions were significant decreased under water-saving irrigation, the water consumption of rice under water saving irrigation decreased by 21.5% comping to that under traditional irrigation. The paddy irrigation requirements present little increasing trends with the decreases of rice water consumption and irrigation precipitation. The irrigation requirements under water-saving irrigation increasing slower than those under floods irrigation, the irrigation water demand and precipitation utilization under water saving irrigation improved by 57% and 11%, respectively, comping to that under traditional irrigation.. Thus, the adverse effects on rice production caused by climate change can be effectively eliminated by using water-saving irrigation technology.
