However, the matching pattern of water supply–demand throughout the growing period during the rapid expansion processes of paddy fields remains unknown. Hence, this study aimed to analyze the spatial–temporal variation characteristics of effective precipitation (Pem), crop water demand (ETc), supply–demand matching degree (MD), and irrigation water demand (IR) for different growing periods of paddy fields in the Sanjiang Plain using high-resolution meteorological and multi-period rice distribution data sets.

The results showed that the area of paddy fields increased by 446% (20,064 km2) from 1990 to 2020 and almost completely covered the lowland of the Sanjiang Plain in 2020. ETc showed a slightly increasing trend initially and decreased afterward, while Pem and MD marginally increased at first and considerably increased subsequently during 1990–1995 and 2000–2020, respectively. MD has largely increased since 2000 in the Jiansanjiang area and the lower reaches of the Songhua River, where the largest paddy field expansion was experienced.
