The objective of this study was to quantify and characterize the inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus outflow loading from different water managements in paddy fields. We investigated the NO3-N, NH4-N, and PO4 in runoff from paddy fields in Iksan. The three different water management treatments were conventional continuous irrigation at 4 and 8 cm water levels, and intermittent irrigation at a 4 cm water level. The concentration of NO3-N at the early growth stage in surface water was 6.11 mg L-¹, and then it gradually decreased. The downward curve increased slightly with additional nitrogen fertilization at the panicle initiation stage, and then it continued to decrease. The NH4-N concentration was 5.26 mg L-¹, and that of PO4 was 0.70 mg L-¹ at the early growth stage. However, the concentration of NO3-N peaked at 8.79 mg L-¹ directly after transplantation and then decreased rapidly throughout the growing season. The amount of NH4-N runoff was 1.86 kg ha-¹ in the plot with intermittent irrigation, and 2.0 kg ha-¹ and 2.1 kg ha-¹ in the plots with water depths of 4 and 8 cm, respectively. The NO3-N runoff was 7.43 kg ha-¹ in the plot with intermittent irrigation, 8.62 kg ha-¹ in the plot with a water depth of 4 cm, and 10.25 kg ha-¹ in the plot with a water depth of 8 cm. In addition, the PO4 runoff was 0.42 kg ha-¹ in the plot with intermittent irrigation, 0.48 and 0.55 kg ha-¹ in the plots with water depths of 4 and 8 cm, respectively. The saving effect of irrigation water was 28.5% than that of conventional water management treatments, and the amount of nitrogen runoff was decreased by 18.5% with intermittent irrigation. However, the phosphorus runoff was not different between the different water management treatments in paddy fields.
