This study is conducted to determine the appropriate irrigation water amount for three main cropping seasons (TMCS) of rice in the Long Xuyen Quadrangle, Vietnam (LXQ). In the work, the Cropwat crop model was used to calculate irrigation water amount for winter-spring (WS), summer-autumn (SA) and autumn-winter (AW) crops based on meteorological data collected in period from 1998 to 2017. Simulation results carried out that WS crop was needed more irrigation water than SA and AW crops. The highest irrigation water requirement (IWR) of WS, SA and AW crops occurred on development stage with approximately values 207.1 mm, 205.8 mm and 102.3 mm respectively. The results showed that the proposed model is successfully applied to define crop water requirement (CWR) and irrigation requirement in the context of climate change leading to irrigation water scarcity.
