    Under the condition of keeping out rain,the study on the effects of different drought degrees on the ground part growth and the root system distribution of summer maize in different growth periods has been conducted for two years. The results show that the summer maize yield is affected by the drought the most,and followed by the leaf area,the plant height and the root number. However the stem diameter is unresponsive to drought. The continuous drought less than 12 days is conducive to crop growth,while it is contradictory for the continuous drought more than 12 days. It would run a higher risk of the yield reduction for meeting drought at the earlier growth period of summer maize than at the later growth period. And the root system response to the drought may be one of reasons for the yield reduction. Improving the sowing time and the root depth of summer maize will be effective measures to relieve the crisis of seasonal drought in red soil region of southern China.

    Moistube-irrigation technology was applied in greenhouse cultivation experiment. And five different treatments were set up to explore the effects of buried depth and pressure head of moistube-pipe on the growth and yield of onion and soil moisture. The conventional irrigation as control was a treatment. The results show that during the onion growth period,the average daily water consumption and plant height increase first and then decrease. Buried depth has great influence on soil water distribution,however, pressure head has little impact.Buried depth and pressure head has a significant impact on the growth and yield of onion.And the effect of buried depth is more obvious.In terms of plant height and yield , the buried depth of 4cm is superior to the buried depth of 7cm.The growth and yield with moistube-irrigation are better than that of the conventional irrigation.Compared with the conventional irrigation,moistube-irrigation is a little saving water.

    Accurate description of the soil moisture and nitrogen transport and transformation is of great importance to establish an appropriate irrigation and fertilization scheme. In order to explore the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics,transportation and transformation mechanism of soil moisture as well as nitrogen in different system temperature conditions under water storage pit irrigation,a simulation model through controlling the soil temperature with the help of temperature control boxes was constructed and the Crick spatial interpolation method was applied to plot soil water content,nitrate and ammonium nitrogen contour maps under different time and system temperature conditions. The research results show that soil moisture and nutrient infiltration process were completed and redistribution was begun after about 7 hours; with time going on,both the vertical and horizontal distance of water in the soil would increase; at the same moment,with the temperature rising,the vertical and horizontal distance continued increasing,and soil moisture was relatively low near the part of water storage pit wall area; the content of ammonium nitrogen in the soil was rising first and then declining under different temperatures; under low temperatures,the fertilizer redistribution in the soil began to decline on the 15 th day,while for the middle and high temperatures,it began to decline on the 10th day and the migration distance was much smaller than the migration distance of water and nitrate nitrogen; the content of nitrate nitrogen began to increase under ten degrees Celsius on the 10th day; while under twenty,twenty-five and thirty-five degrees Celsius,it began to rise on the 5th day. What's more,the content of nitrate nitrogen distributed near water storage pit and soil wetting pattern was curvilinear which was from low to high then to low. All of these indicated that during the redistribution period,along with the temperature rising,the velocity of water redistribution would also increase,and it was more quickly for urea transfer to ammonium nitrogen. At the same time,the nitration process would be promoted,restricting the accumulation of ammonium nitrogen in the soil. When the soil moisture was too high,the nitrification of nitrogen in the soil will be restricted.

    The aim of this study is to assess the effects of deep soil water on winter wheat root morphology and drought tolerance in the arid and semi-arid by using different planned irrigation wetting depths. Four water levels were set up in a pot experiment using PVC tubes,namely,surface irrigation ( Ⅰ) ,irrigation wetting depth of 60% root distribution ( Ⅱ) ,irrigation wetting depth of 75% root distribution ( Ⅲ) , and irrigation wetting depth of 90% root distribution ( Ⅳ) . The root morphology indexes and above ground dry weight were measured to evaluate the plant growth. The results showed that the deep irrigation which changed the irrigation method from surface to plan wetting depth of root distribution could improve the down depth of winter wheat rooting under the condition of same precipitation rate. At the maturity stage,the Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ treatments produced deeper root systems to 27~ 37 cm,and had higher total root dry weight and grain yield than the Ⅰ treatment. In contrast,the root to shoot ratio decreased for the Ⅱ,Ⅲ or Ⅳ treatment,because appropriate root-shoot ratio could better coordinate the relationship between the aerial and underground part of winter wheat and improve drought tolerance. Therefore,the root distribution depth of 60% ( Ⅱ) and 75% ( Ⅲ) under the experimental conditions were more suitable irrigation scheme,and could provide a reference for water-saving irrigation of winter wheat in North China.

    Gray water footprint is a quantified indicator for water pollution. The paper calculates the gray water footprint and analyzes the degree of water quality pollution in Shandong Province. The ESDA model is applied to study the global and local spatial autocorrelation of the gray water footprint intensity. The spatial concentration maps about the grey footprint intensity are built and the negative effects of water environment under the economic growth are measured. The results indicate that during 2001-2014,in Shandong province,municipal grey water footprint shows a trend of decline and the water pollution pressure reduces year by year; cities in Shandong province of grey water footprint load coefficient are too large,indicating that the water pollution is serious,and the difference of regional pollution degree is large; The grey water footprint intensity has a decreasing tendency in cities which means that the influence of the economic development on water pollution has decreased and the negative effects of water environment has been alleviated; The grey water footprint intensity in Shandong province has rising global spatial autocorrelation,which means that there exists a spatial cluster feature and the spatial cluster feature among different cities has become more and more obvious. The regions with HH correlation pattern are mainly located in the west of Shandong province,while the regions with LL correlation pattern are mainly located in the eastern of Shandong province and have an obvious diffusing tendency. The study results provide the reference for the government departments to evaluate the water pollution status and decide the policies of controlling water pollution and protecting water ecological civilization.

    Agricultural water pricing reform is one of the essential policies to suppress the pumping of groundwater in Huang Huai Hai Plain. This paper is based on the field research in regions of comprehensive controlling of over-draft in Hebei Province,and uses the method of cross-analysis and binary logistic model to analyze the influencing factors for farmers’willingness to save water on the assumption that agricultural water pricing reform is applied. The survey result shows that 75.32% of the farmers do not have the willingness to save water on the assumption. The research results show that the farmers who are older or whose farmlands have participated in the Recuperate policy have stronger willingness to save water on the assumption; the farmers who hold the idea that saving water in spring’s irrigation will cause yield decrease of wheat have less willingness to save water on the assumption. Thus,this paper draws the following three policy implications: promoting breeding techniques for drought tolerance in crops and field irrigation technology; strengthening propaganda and training of saving water; designing and implementing the systematic and comprehensive agricultural water pricing reform
