Twenty-six wheat simulation models and their crop and soil water routines were evaluated in four locations with contrasting agro-climatic conditions, representing a wide range in soil water availability of wheat cropping systems. The simulated impacts indicated that future crop water use will decline by 6 and 15% at +3°C and +6°C, respectively. With an increase in CO2 concentration to 720ppm, simulated water use will decline by 4.4%. The simulated crop water use was more uncertain than the potential evapotranspiration (ET0) with half of the uncertainty due to differences in simulated crop transpiration. To better understand future crop water patterns under a future climate, partitioning of ET0 into soil evaporation and crop transpiration needs improvement.
